Cheap generic CPU cooling fan?

[hirobo2]

Any adverse effect to using a cheap generic (Chinese) CPU cooling fan found on eBay? Now b4 anyone asks, I only need to cool a 35W TDP CPU, not those power hungry mainstream monsters...

What cpu and what cooling fan?

^ desktop Ivy Bridge Celeron rated at 35W TDP. I'm thinking some cheap $8 CPU fan/heatsink from eBay...

We can't say yes or no without knowing exactly what cpu fan. Have to check specs and reviews to make sure its not garbage.

A cheap arctic cooling is only $10...
You would probably grab a branded one.
