Il_napoletano Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 If Im right, he is looking a heat sink to conduct the heat out of onboard chipset and onboard VGA So that little silver thing on top of mobo is quite important for optimize heating solution yes....it's important but the fan blowing on the heatsink(directly), cooling the heatsink.... resulting in lower temps. for a fraction of the price....and the temps would be lower than if he had all the fins and no fan....

I agree, but at least get a heat sink to place under the fan lol I dont think only placing a fan can take care the heat problem what I read from previous replies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicVic Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 I have the fan from a Thermalright NB1 I do have and I did try to fine a way to mount the NB1 before but none of the actual mounting hardware for any heatsinks I have worked with it. victor_liu4508 is my skype ID Hit me up and see if my heat sink can fit you I have them from Gateway E4100 and E4300 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 take a small fan and either hot glue or super glue it to the heatsink... done it many times I have a few thermaltake small fans and sinks... let me look and see if I got the clips for them... just be the price of shipping if I do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
