Better fan?

Hi, I'm going to be getting a cooling fan for the Wii. I'm having a hard time choosing between these two:

Intec Cooling Station - $20 CAD

Asid Tech Wii Charging Stand - $15 CAD on sale

PS. The reason I'm looking to buy one is that when the Wii is in standby mode, it gets a little hot, and I've heard that Wiis can overheat, so that's reason enough for me to buy a fan.

The Wii doesn't have a problem with overheating.

You're wasting your money and only helping other companies use scare tactics on the public.

TC, I have one (just can't remember the brand, sorry), but I found it to be much too noisy, so I just don't the Wii Connect. I turn it off till I see the red light.

It's a defective heatsink that caused those issues on the gpu. Wouldn't matter if the fan was blowing or not. The fan doesn't protect the system for overheating that is the job of the heatsink. Fans just assist the heatsink.

Those cooling fans that you attach to the wii usb ports don't get them. The intec brand of cooling stands has been known to actually overheat the console due to it guess what blocking the fan by thrusting air in there. Xbox 360 cooling fans have been known to damage the system for example.

Thank you for clarifying about the GPU heatsink.
