How do I know which heatsink fan I need for my Emachine W3615.
I know I need a new fan but how do I know if I need the heatsink also.
Most of the modern computers I've dealt with (I am assuming this is a desktop machine) have heatsink fans that are attached to the heatsink. This means that you will have to get the heatsink and fan together. In addition, you will have to make sure this all works with your motherboard, as there are mounting concerns. I would go to Best Buy.com and plug in the model number for your computer there and use heatsink as a search word. That way you will get the heatsink/fan that matches your motherboard. Also, don't forget the thermal paste.
