[QUOTE]Originally posted by Chadwick: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cremator: [qb]I agree with Hauser: I've seen posts on the Net about those thermal pads and they're always bad - go with a little drop of thermal paste (the silver kind is best). I've had good luck with fairly generic heatsink/fan combos, but if you aren't confident in yours, it's money well spent as heat will kill a CPU. Hand-in-hand with the CPU fan, make sure you have good airflow through for your case - if it's hot in the case the CPU will still suffer no matter how good it's fan...[/qb][/QUOTE]AKA 120mm front case fan (intake) 80mm rear case fan (exhaust) 80mm rear or side case fan (exhaust) 80mm Power Supply Fan Most CPU fans are just gimicks unless you overclock like a madman in which case liquid cooled is the way to go... CPU fan and sink (style, brand etc) are much less important than people realize (as long as they are working properly) but installation of the CPU fan and sink is CRITICAL, thermal paste is good but dont use TOO much. Just enough for good heat transfer between the chip and the sink. [/QB][/QUOTE]
