Hi all just to be on the safe side I thought I would ask you guys a question, well I have just bought an ati radeon x1650 pro and my computer is a dell 8400 with all stock cooling and stock dell case. I was wondering if it was advised to buy a cpu cooler just in case my computer might over heat a bit. As I want to save money do you think it is worth buying a computer? My room is cool most of the time anyways as I live in england :P

Cheers :)

Well if it runs fine dont worry about it. If its getting too hot you will start getting artifacts when playing games.

I'm confused by your post. The subject is graphic card cooling, but you asked for advice on CPU cooler, and you also asked if you should save money on buying a whole new computer? Want to clarify?

Well firstly its nice to know someone has been reading all my posts :P and secondly I said I was "Thinking" not necesarily buying and even if i said I was my mind has changed. The cpu cooler I might buy aswell and if you think about it, it kind of relates to cooling...right?

Anyways back to the topic i'll try out the graphics card and see what happens, but looks like it'l be ok.
