100066 2002-11-20 23:34:00 what sort of cooling would i need for the above? i have one sitting in a Skt 7 mobo without a heatsink or fan, had it running didn't blow up but got pretty hot. Does anyone know where to get a Skt 7 cooler from? it needs to be pretty small cause there isn't much room around the socket Pete O'Neil (250)
100067 2002-11-20 23:37:00 Give's your postal addy and I've got a few Heatsinks/coolers lying around
You could email me psycho _ Sabertooth at hotmail dot com
(And dont sign me up for any of that make 30 million dollar stuff please... Earning money the hard way and being spam free sounds great to me at the moment...)

100068 2002-11-20 23:37:00 hmmm. I thought if you didn't have a heatsink on a chip it would fry in a matter of seconds. Either way you are seriously damaging your computer running it without the heatsink and fan.

Check out your local computer store for a heatsink or fan. Just mention the type of CPU it is. I know the one you are after but i just can't remember the size off hand. Will cost you about $20

100069 2002-11-20 23:38:00 BTW, You prolly should have something on it, well, I almost garauntee that you should. Anything over 486 really needs one... Even my old P75 had a nice big Heatsink that kept it cool as ice! Chilling_Silence (9)
100070 2002-11-20 23:41:00 Tricky Dicky (DSE) are selling one for $15. gibler (49)
100071 2002-11-20 23:47:00 I only got Socket 478 (P4) and Socket A 1.7V (AMD Duron and Athlon XP).
I've got no use for them and they all work perfectly fine, one's still in a box too I believe!

BTW, You'd have to goto somewhere that deals in PC parts specifically, not a mainstream store like DSE because Socket 7 isnt the newest thing out...

100072 2002-11-20 23:47:00 socket 7 coolers are dime a dozen :) it a nice big one and put a slow speed fan on it or IF you have very good case airflow then you can use a fanless heatsink.

as far as 486's go, i've burnt my finger on one (no heatsink).

100073 2002-11-20 23:51:00 btw p4 & socket A ones won't fit but a lot of (early)socket 370 ones will.

dicky smith and jarcar will still have socket7 ones.

100075 2002-11-22 05:54:00 thanx for the offer Chilling_Silence, but no need got me a cooler the other day. the problem was that there was very little room around the socket so the cooler couldn't really be any bigger than the chip itself. Went into DSE they didn't have what i wanted, went accross the road to a local dealer asked for a socket 7 cooler and he came back a second later with a nice smaller heatsink with a small fan on top. I wanted to buy one new so it came with the thermal pad so there was no need to buy Artic Silver e.t.c. Was running the processor the other day without a cooler, not even a heatsink, yes it did get hot. Turned it of straight away still runs thou, typing this on it now actually. Quite impressed with this Pentium I 133 seems to run well got it running WIN98 with 32mb ram runs better than my K6-2 266 256mb ram(but its a dog). My first intel based system i can see why people like them, but i'll stick to AMD for the time being. Pete O'Neil (250)
