Help: Noob Cooling help

MarkW7 · 22 Dec 2008 at 03:25

Hi, I am a begining computer builder and i just don't get how some cooling works i've checked google and it's telling me two different things.

First of all the CPU: Does the fan suck hot air away from the CPU or.. does it blow cold air onto it?

Secondly graphics cards: Does the fan suck hot air away from the CPU or.. does it blow cold air onto it?

Thirdly i have this, [Radeon 9600 Pro, 128mb DDR with DVI TV, C3D 6036] and i need to cool it, do you know any thing cheap that will do the job.

(Sorry for bad pic) Thanks Mark.

Cannot change picture but it's better if you right click it and click 'view image'.

I got the card for free, it'll only cost me £3 or something to get a fan and heatsink?

It's going into an old dell dimension 8200, that has AGP or PCI slot, the cooler space is 4.5cm long so i'd need a 45mm fan and sink?

cheers

I've been looking in a few places and this came up;

Cheap and looking at the Fan speed and air flow it's more than most, or is it crap lol.

Ummmm, are they any good? Worth me buying one.
I'm trying to get a fan / heatsink for the card, probuably the chipset cooler one unless theres a better one for no a lot more pref under £5?

I don't know how good things are and if they're worth buying.
