cpu fan?

DahWhon · 07-20-2005, 04:32 PM

would i need a cpu fan for an intel celeron 2.4 ghz processor if i wasnt going to over clock? is it recommended?

I'd say yes. You'd be safer going with it, so just do it.

If you don't want it to fry 20 second's after you turn it on then YES you need 1

DahWhon · 07-20-2005, 04:41 PM

what if i have two other fans in my case?

DahWhon · 07-20-2005, 05:02 PM

any other fans that are recommended?

timmer · 07-20-2005, 10:59 PM

wait are u asking if u need a heat sink and fan period or just a better one?
if the question is that (do i need a heat sink and fan period?) then u shouldnt be tinkering with things and for any more fans recomended yea a few case fans prolly for ur video card and hard drive and all that

thanx

Always need a fan on those. The new processors NEED a fan. I think the first pentiums were the cpu's to first need fans. And ever since than, a cpu cannot run without one.

Need a case fan or two? Sorry to be such a salesman:

Well, I think the mac minis are passivly cooled, and many laptops have passivly cooled processors. But, if you are looking to overclock, a fan is a must.
