I've got the retail fan I got with my Athlon 2400+ on, and I was wondering if I should get a more powerful fan before summer comes (when it would more than likely hit 30C without a problem, therefore my CPU would go straight over 70 and crash).
I've got 2 fans at the back of the PC taking air out, and 2 in my PSU. I've got 2 slots at the front of the case for another 2 fans as well.
What would be best? Getting 2 case fans for the front of the case or a more powerful CPU fan? Possibly both?
Thanks  |
Intake fans make next to no difference, AMD themselves have said so. Get a decent HSF and some quality thermal paste (AS 5 for example)
