Question about processor fans

[DarkKnight]

when u buy a processor fan, will it come with the thermal tape or compound, or do I need to buy it separately? This is the fan i plan on getting

It will most likely come with some cheap thermal grease and maybe a thermal pad. I would suggest picking up some Arctic Silver III if you are a temperature freak like me or if you intend to overclock.

After looking at it, it looks very similar to the SVC GC68. So I doubt you intend to overclock with this HSF.

Newegg usually does a good job showing everything important in a package. With that said, it may not include grease, but I dont know. Shady06 in another thread said you can pick up Antec Silver Thermal compound from Staples for $2.50 for 3grams which is just rebadged AS3.

do yourself a favor, get AS3 and a YS tek adjustable. That will keep your temps way down. Buy stuff from svc.com
