Is this safe ???No fan.

BirdmanJR · Jul 15, 2005

Ok So im over hauling my gmas Dell.Its that 400$ you see advertise.It had new ram and cd roms.The HDD is fine and the CPU is too but I can not figire out how to mount a new Heatsink/fan.So my question is can I run it safly with just a heatsink and no fan?It only a 2.4 Celeron.Will it be safe?

ahhh no it will not be safe. None of the newer generation cpus should run fanless.

it might be safe...but I tell you I have a celeron 2.4 with a ultra heatsink/fan and it runs at 113 idle and 114 under full load. I and not sure how no fan would effect that but it might cause it to raise up to 120 I would think possible...I also have a case mounted fan.

all temps in farenhieght

Yeah I know...only once did I ever see it get to 115 and that was when the AC was out and it was 95 in the room...and 99 in the case.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a cheap heasink and fan?

maxxoverclocker · Jul 15, 2005

what socket is it? oh and in the past dell didn't use standard retention clips as retail motherboards so there might be a conflict there.

BirdmanJR · Jul 16, 2005

Yea that my whole point.I cant find a fan/heatsink to attach.All it used was a fan on the back and a duct that suck air from the heatsink.So I was thinking If I just leave the heatsink as is and just make sure the case has good airflow it should be fine.All she does it play solitare.Can I make this happen?
