Cpu cooler change on dell inspiron 580
I want to change my old cpu cooler because i have upgraded my cpu from i5 650 to xeon x3470 and it seems to have heat problems with the old cooler when i play games.
Will this cooler be compatible with my pc? Also what other coolers to you suggest to be good with the xeon x3470 and compatible with my pc?

It won't fit without also changing the mounting bracket -- which is not standard -- and in turn, the mounting bracket may be difficult to change, since the holes for it aren't standard. Further, if your current heatsink has a fan aboard, you'll get a "fan failed" error at each powerup if you install a non-Dell fan in the system.
