Does the Delta 38cfm screamer fit the ALPHA 8045?

[Mr. Cornell]

I mean, without any adapters?
I've got the ol' Delta 7000rpm banshee strapped to a PAL6035 and I was wondering if I could just pop it onto an 8045 when I build my new Athlon XP rig?
thanks! :)

[Wega!]

Nope. The old Delta you got, is a 60mm fan, and the Alpha uses 80mm fan's. But you can get the Delta on 80mm versions. There are 2 of them. One that moves 68CFM and one that moves no less the 80CFM !

if you were to use a 60mm fan then it would only cool a small ammount of the heatsink and the parts not cooled would get vey vey hot.
