Most all Dell desktop systems use a large passive CPU heat-sink thats ducted to the 120mm case fan. Never /ever/ run the system without this duct/shroud in place (heck, you really shouldn't run the system with the case open as that messes with the airflow). Replacing the Dell heat-sink/shroud with a 3rd party 'cooler' could easily be problematic, as Dell engineered the whole system cooling solution around that shroud. _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list Prime@hogranch.com http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
