After 4 years, both have died.

I am looking on newegg for fans that have good reviews. These seem to be good.

And people keep saying to use

Are these good choices?

I don't know too much about fans, all that I know is mine work well(CPU temp is never over 31C). If you have enough green, I would reccomend an ATI x800. Thing has worked like a dream since I have had it.

I have been doing some searching for a new GFX card of my own even though my ATI 9200SE is brand new. Through my searching I have yet to find anything that sparks my interest. I am far away from getting a new motherboard, so any recomendations on the best PCI card I can get? I have no real limit on money for the GFX card, but I am limited to PCI. Grr...

If you guys read what he posted at all, you'd notice that he isn't looking for a video card, but a fan for it.

It's tough to say anything about fans, it's often try and trial. What you can do is read reviews of them and see what others think. The AC is great stuff, you can use it. Make sure the GPU fan fits your card though. Some graphics cards use thermal pads instead which are thicker than grease...so make sure you know it's compatible.


There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

For a Video Card fan try this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E168351181 17

I also recommend these Ramsinks for your GPU as well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E168351182 20

Note: this GPU fan uses up an extra slot, tell me if you need a 1 slot solution asap.

Arctic Silver 5 is compatable with video cards and the CPU. It is the best compound available Thumbs Up. It is VERY important to read the manual for this here: http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions.htm

Also for a heatsink/fan for the CPU, make sure that u dont get anything that is too cheap, it usually means that it wont last long or it has componets that dont conduct heat as well. Make sure that its all copper heatsink for the best performance.
