I'm building a brand spanking new machine and for once, budget is an issue.
I know all the parts I'm buying, but the only thing is a CPU fan, and im frankly pretty clueless about which one to get.
Requirements are:
1) Easy installation (nothing that requires taking out the motherboard if possible)
2) Fits in an Antec 900 case
3) keeps CPU cool as possible.
Sound isn't an issue, though it would be cool to have one of the fanless CPU coolers. I'm not going to be doing any overclocking so intense heat removal isn't required so much.
It's been about 4 years since I last built a new computer, so im unsure about fan installation. First computer I built didn't require the motherboard to be taken out to put it on, but the second one did. Do all fans require that now?
Thanks
