Fan Question

Hi.

I will be putting together a PC with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo. The CPU comes
with a fan. I know that there are better, fancier fans around, for
additional money. Is the fan that comes with the Core 2 Duo good? Good
enough? I will do some overclocking. Thanks.

The heatsink that comes with the processor is decent. It is not great, but
it does the job. However if you are planning on overclocking you will want
to get an after market heatsink.

Some of the after market cpu cooling products require you to have
access to the rear of the mobo to install a mounting bracket. You may
want to put in a new fan and heatsink a the start of your build rather
that down the road, for obvious reasons. Just a thought.

I think of it this way: the stock fan is the only one that's not only
guaranteed for three years but also covers any heat damage suffered by
the CPU (OK, today's CPUs can't overheat from fan failure). Does any
aftermarket fan's warranty do that?

English is noted for the ability to demarcate sentences with
periods. The period is usually followed by a Capital letter. The
above single sentence appears to fail to use this simple feature.

No, American sentences are broken by 'periods'. English sentences are
separated by Full Stops!
