A very noobish question.

Two days ago, I ordered all the parts for a P.C. (I'm a first time builder), and I purchased this cooling fan http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2604150&CatId=493


Now, my question is, is this the same thing as a heatsink?

If not, I will purchase one.

Thanks!

Yes that is a heatsink/fan combo.

Yeah, its not the same thing but the fan and heatsink are together as one unit.

You are good to go!!

That's a nifty lookin' fan. Make sure it's the right size and everything then buy it!
