No, dim4ik, you do NOT need special cooling. If you get the PIB (Retail) version of the CPU, it comes with a good heatsink fan combo that works well and quite, plus you'll get a 3 year warrantee thrown into the deal. If you buy OEM, then you have only 30 days. Or if you install a different HS/fan, then you void the 3 year warrantee.
It is a very bad and wrong rumor that people like to keep spreading... HTH TwoRails |

Hiya TwoRails
could you clear something up for me? I have been told that if I want a hard drive with 60GB or more on then I will have to buy another fan. Do I? I am buying a retail AMD 2200+ so I'll already have a fan for that. |

You dont NEED another fan, but it is good to have a fan blowing over any sort of hard drive just to keep it cool, but it isnt really needed

Hi clareBRFC. scott_d is correct: a HD fan is Not needed. HDs run cooler than most people think, at about 90 - 100°F -- SCSI drives are the ones that run hot and generaly fans are used with them, not IDE drives. Using my personal system for example, I have No front fans at all in my system, and it has a pair of 120 gig HDs and a 2700+ CPU with a stock / retail HS/fan combo.

Hi dim4ik, sorry.... I miss that!
 -- I don't know off the top of my head what warranty Russian AMD products have. Is this something you can check online or with a phone call? I don't know how to speak other languages, so I'd be of little help in searching...TwoRails |

As Spyda suggests, you can always install another. I would put it in the rear, however, not the front. Even AMD recommends No front fans as they tend to circulate the hot air more than cool the machine. With a second rear fan, you'll have more draw thru the case, and that's what does the cooling in the case.
