Re: Choosing a CPU fan

lots of choices, google around.


Finding them is not the problem.

Are there any issues with installing fans with particular CPUs? Are some types more reliable, or more effective, or quieter? I don't really know enough about them to ask the right questions. Hence my general query.

Just make sure that you know how to assemble the fan AND heatsink
assembly, as well as applying the thermal compound (e.g., Arctic
Silver), and mounting the heatsink-fan assembly on the CPU and
anchoring it to the motherboard.
