Yep, my standard one wasnt mounted on anything metallic but I had an old Athlon PC heatsink and fan on for 3 years and it never fried itself.

if you have acces to a Tig welder
proberly the best thing you can do is
with some points welding to an athlon/intel heat sink with fan

I would think that this may overheat it ?
Or kill its sensitive electronic components, TIG is electric isnt it?
I did this, token gesture, but we`ll see when I run it up.......

 I thought that was!
It was only a £2 fan and heatsink, I had already set my location, with better planning you could fit a really big h/s and fan, only about £10 too.
There must be some irony in the fact that people want to water cool their pc's really
No, all the fans are 12V, ready for when people fit them in cars

Something like this should be fine Id think
The "Akasa AK-675 " £6 + delivery from
Overclockers.co.uk (5th one down)
As ReMan says, all PC fans are 12v, the PC power supply converts the 240v AC into 12v DC (and other voltages) for the PC components to run on.
