Does it need one? generally yes though i have seen a few machines with ***huge*** heatsinks that were apparantly fine without a fan btw: it does not have to be anything fancy... i;ve been know to just mount a small case fan near the cpu in such a way as to blow directly on it at close range |

Yes, it gets quite hot during use.

... Have Pentium 233, slot one, it doesn't have a CPU fan. Does it need one? I have a P233 running IPcop 24/7. It does not have a CPU fan only a huge round heatsink intended for P3s with the front case fan blowing air across it. It only gets mildly warm. So leave your PC running normally for an hour or so then open the case and touch the heatsink. If it feels uncomfortably hot or even too hot to touch then it needs a fan. |

The passive coolers were a mistake. there are several fan heatsink
combos on the market. buy a good one. Lane "The Walkers" wrote in message ... Have Pentium 233, slot one, it doesn't have a CPU fan. Does it need one? |
