Q&A: How do I know whether a CPU cooler fan will be compatible?
Question by Will B: How do I know whether a CPU cooler fan will be compatible?
I bought my computer ready built with an AVC CPU cooler fan, unfortunately it has just died on me and I need a replacement. After research I have found that my specific heatsink and fan are no longer in production and I don’t know which cooler will be compatible with my system. I can only describe the cooler as a large cube heatsink with a fan on top, and to mount it to the motherboard it has two metal clips which straddle each side of the fan and heatsink and clip on to a plastic mounting on the motherboard on each corner at the bottom of the heatsink. This may sound complicated but I can hopefully clear up any confusion if you ask.

Q&A: How much does the CPU affect FPS in 3d games compared to video cards?
Question by Steve M: How much does the CPU affect FPS in 3d games compared to video cards?
Is there some kind of comparison of different CPU’s with the same decent video card? I’m planning on getting something like a GeForce 7600 GT and am wondering if my Pentium D 2.8 Ghz will be decent? Most of the tests I see have better CPU’s then mine, how much will it affect my performance?

That processor is plenty, it really doesn’t affect fps in 3d games all that much. The only games that are fairly processor intensive are rts type games. And also you would have to replace your motherboard to be able to get any large increase on processor performance.
