10 CFM OK for a CPU fan?

[bigjon]

I'm replacing the mobo in a ComSuq system, and the P2-350 cpu didn't have a CPU fan!! I have a bunch of 5.1cfm micro fans (just over 1" square), would one or two of those be sufficient?

Hello?

seeing as how it didnt' have them before, ANY direct airflow is probably welcome to it They used to use just the PS fan to move air over the heatsink to save costs, but for reliability, most poeple do add fans. Most fans on good Heatsinks move at least 16cfm, but, as before, anything more over what it had is good.

Thanks BurntKooshie. Just what I was looking for.

ApacheXMD, I picked up 10 of those fans at Parts Express for $1.50 each http://www.parts-express.com - search for part# 259-130.
