Which fan ?
Hi,
I would like some suggestions about which fan should I use. First, I will need another fan than the stock one on my PIII 800mhz 'cause I will overclock it. I'll use thermal compound ( Artic silver II or III ? what's the difference? ). I don't really know which fan I could use. Second, in my case on the front, their's like a small plastic thing, and it seems like a fan can go in there. I took a ruler and I gave me 70mm... 60mm or 80mm fan should I use? any suggestions?? Thanks guys!! Dim3x |

Hi Dim3x,
Is your PIII 800MHz a slot 1 or socket 370 processor? What case are you using? Most cases use 80mm fans for case ventilation.  Cricket

Oops forgot this
 It's a socket 370 CPU. I don't really know which case it is, something like generic... |

Hi Dim3x,
For overclocking a socket 370 CPU, I think a GlobalWin WBK38 or Alpha PAL6035 should work out fine. Where did you measure when you got the 70mm dimension? Cricket

when I remove the plastic thing, I have a round hole. 70mm is the diameter of the hole. and I don't have any other hole ( like 4 hole to screw the fan ). any idea ?
thanks for the info for the cpu fan Dim3x |

Hi Dim3x,
That plastic thing that was attached to the front of the case, measure the inside opening. If it's slightly over 80mm, it should take a normal 80mm x 25mm fan. Does it look like it has latches that are meant to hold a fan inside it? Cricket

I mesured the plastic thing. Up-down it gave me 90mm, left-right it gave me 85mm, and diagonally it gave 120mm. Didn't saw anything to plug a fan in this, but it should do it somehow. now what?

Hi Dim3x,
My guess is it holds a 80mm case fan somehow. If you want to be certain, take the plastic thing with you to a local computer shop and have them fit the correct fan into it. Cricket
