Dell G5 Desktop Cooling upgrades

✭
I recently bought a Dell G5 gaming pc (intel i5, 1660 super), I am a college student on a budget so I think buying it for $900 was a bargain. I was wondering what size fan would be needed to upgrade the current one, also how difficult it would be to upgrade the cpu heatsink. Thank you for any advice you can give me, I'm new to the PC world.

Hello @snyders6 and thanks for posting on the Microcenter Community Forum. Dell uses proprietary components and changing your cooler could be a risk. Why are we wanting to upgrade the CPU cooler on a Dell? Are your temperatures too high?
