Cooling with a Dragon

[mancala75]

I need advice on using the Dragon Orb 3 heatsink/fan. I am going to use this in a tower on a 1.2Ghz Athlon MP attached to an XFX mobo. I have read alot of good reviews for this fan. My concern is the weight. Will the weight of the fan pulling down on the processor and mobo cause damage? Thanks for your time...

I used one for a year and the weight was never really a problem. The noise, however, is a different story.

Go here and look at this cooler it is all you will ever need for any mainstream CPU type.

I figure this is one of the top of the line Air Coolers out there now.

I have orderd a few into the shop to take a look at.

Answering your question, no. Using a Dragon Orb will not cause damage to anything.
