Hello I could find a topic area for hardware help. Anyway, I am interested in adding an extra fan in my Dell Dimention 3000 (XP) desktop computer. The only other fan in the computer is the regular big fan with a green plastic compartment by the power supply.

 

I understand that in addition I could put a smaller fan somewhere on the motherboard, but I do not know which fan I need and where and how to put it.

 

As for my graphic card, I use what the computer already came with which is "Intel Extreme Graphics 2". The flight sims I run are MSFS 98, MSFS 2004 and Falcon 4.0 All of the flight sims run pretty well. And I realize that their are probably better graphic cards that I could buy, but I don't don't know what do buy. For now maybe an extra fan might help before I move on to more powerful flight sims.

 

I notice that when my room get hot, sometimes the computer make noise, even if I am not running a flight sim.

 

Jack
