cpu fans nmp mfltd co uk nic percival x wrote just got a mhz dx system and am considering getting a fan for the cpu the processor when running is too hot to touch so i think this is a stuff deleted my dx is about a week old and is custom built by me and for me i am using the pc power and cooling cpu cooler this one has precision ball bearings in the motor it has a pretty substantial heat sink so if it happened to fail it would still probably dissipate more heat than the bare chip it attaches with peel off adhesive this is a full size at case so the fan has gravity in its favor i would be a little nervous about finding the fan at the bottom of a tower case if it happened to let go all of the cpu fans that i know of are powered from a drive cable there are other board type fans which are isa boards with a couple of fans mounted on them they are powered by the slot i don t know how effective they are maybe someone else could comment the cpu is cool enough to touch with the pcp c unit pc connection at has them for next day delivery the y cord is if you don t have a spare lead off the power supply pcp c make the best power supplies available imho channel r cambridge ma
