can you buy any type of fan for amd 2200+ processor??? or would i have to get a heatsink etc... with a fan as well. i just wanna get a fna b/c i dont know how to clean a processor after it had a heatsink on it ty=thank you

Do you have a heat problem??

well yes...see.. i thinks its my case b/c it doesnt have such good ventalation so i put in a case fan next to or close to my cpu which helps the cpu cool down.

Usually, fans for CPUs are matched with CPU heatsinks (bought together as one item.) Most CPU fans are setup to blow air onto the CPU heatsink. Many cases have places for two "case" fans. You might want to check for mounting points; low up front (that one should blow cold air into the case) and high in back (it is generally just under the power supply and since hot air rises, it should be setup to blow the hot air out of the case.) Something else you can do, is "tie up" internal cables, especially ribbon cables to minimize obstruction to air flow.

Basically, the less effective the heatsink, the more air it needs to cool your CPU. If your heatsink is marginal but you don't want to replace it, you'll have to install a CPU fan that moves a lot of air. Good case ventilation also keeps your CPU (and other hardware) happy. Most low- to mid-line cases do this with an intake fan on the bottom front and an exhaust fan on the top rear. This works fine for almost anyone. Like hwood said, you may also want to loom (streamline) your device cables by tying them together wherever possible so they don't obstruct the airflow. If the air in your case moves fairly well and your CPU is still running too hot, you should really take a look at your heatsink/CPU fan. Thermal whatever between the sink/processor, snug, even fit against the processor die, clean fins on the heatsink, strong CPU fan.... I like to use a REALLY nice heatsink and a quiet rpm-monitoring fan on AMD processors. The links are to my (current) favorite cooling heatsink/fan combo. It's a pure copper beast of a heatsink with an 80mm 27cfm/21dB fan--quiet yet powerful enough to keep my Athlon XP 3000+ under 45C at full load with all the case fans except the PSU turned off.

Make sure your case temps are not to hot, because if they are too high, your cpu temp will suffer. Take the side panel off of the case, you should see a difference, then you'll know its a ventilation problem.
