Hello everyone,
I just got a new motherboard (ECS Goal3+(1.1C) AMD Sempron 3000+ 754 SiS 761 GX Micro ATX Motherboard/CPU Combo) and got a heatsink and cpu fan (MASSCOOL 5F9001B1H3 80mm Ball CPU Cooler). It seems like the heatsink is too big and doesn’t fit. What size/kind should I get? 70mm?
Thanks!

I'm no pro but, I would check and see what cpu socket is on the board, and find heat sink and fan that fits that particular socket. such as AM2+/AM2. good luck!

Correct, you buy a matching heatsink/fan for your CPU.
