If you have to jury rig a fan to a system, you might find it more reliable to mount it to the case, and aim the air at the heatsink. If it blows enough, that's all that's needed. It doesn't have to be on the heatsink, itself. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
