Default Here is what I got, what do I do?

So I recently got the stock Intel heatsink+fan that is used on their dual cores and extremes. (see pic). look in my rig showcase, and tell me what I could use it for, Could I maybe use the powerfull fan as a case fan? Should I use it as the CPU heatsink? If so, how do I do these things? Please tell me what to do. I finally got something I can mod, and I don't know what to do with it.

I spliced a 4 pin molex onto mine and put it on my heatsink(fan only) Giving me 2 fans on it now.........With your setup you could do the same and use it to cool memory,GFX card, or another case fan

I took the fan OFF the heatsink and cut the wire and spliced on a standard 4 pin molex power connector and then put it on my Arctic freezer 7 cooler now I have to fans on it instead of just 1.

I can't use it to cool the memory because my memory slots are at the top of the cpu heatsink, so this won't fit because of the PSU

So use it as extra cooling for your GFX card.
