This CPU cooler is a direct fit instead of stock. I got down from 82C to 53C. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F21X...UTF8&psc=1

Tips for installation:
1) remove cooler and CPU, clean old paste
2) install new cooler base - adjust the screws
3) remove cooler base, plug in cooler fan
4) install CPU and drop of thermal paste
5) install cooler base ( note letter V orientation, so you don't have it upside down like me
6) install fan on cooler base

Just took advantage of the Dell deal along with the Amex offer. Other than the above tip, I was reading in the other thread about thermal pads for the memory on the GPU?

I'm a complete newb when it comes to tinkering on the insides of computers. Any other tips or cooling mods you recommend for this desktop?

This model has onboard graphics so you could take out the GPU, and sell it locally or on eBay. Thanks for the post.

Do you need to remove the motherboard from the case to install the new cooler?

Doesn't this void the warranty?
