Well, i posted this accidentally in the wrong forum. Lets try it here where it belongs!
I'm doing a first time build with a Thunderbird 1 GHZ C processor, and am a little concerned about cooling. I'm not planning any overclocking (at least not right away) so a regular heat sink and fan should be fine. But because I am concerened, I decided to "splurge" and buy a higher grade fan than the basic fan that comes with the processor. I can't tell, however, from the picture, whether it is a heatsink and fan, or just a fan. It's called a "Super Orb cooling fan". Can anyone shed some light on if this is enough to cool the above mentioned processor, or should i do more?
Here's a link to a picture of it:
