My PC freezes after being on for a few hours, when I'm on the internet or something. Usually freezes after 30mins playing a game.

This used to happen like once every 3 months....since I upgraded my CPU it happens all the time.

So...I was thinking of buying this cooler - cheap, quiet, but good (and can also be used when I build a new PC in mid-2004).


Do you guys think this'll do the trick??

P.S. - It's an AMD Athlon 1.2GHz (200MHz FSB)
 
Sorry, just one more question....since there is only one space available for a fan (front-bottom), should I make it an exhaust or intake fan? (bearing inmind the PSU has a n exhaust fan also)
 
Again........?
OHhhh/the/Humanity......:>)

These are just "my" thoughts....and should be carefully measured against other opinions....I try very hard to impart correct info at all times.
 
Hi again Goatyguy !
Glad that you have got the point .
Remember the link i gave you .
Intake low in front , exhaust high in back .
Good luck getting your "cool" .
Get a good cpu cooler also (by one with spec for future
upgrades of cpu , and take it with you in future upgrades)
Thanx for the ratings ...
