it has a silver colored aluminium heatsink, that has about the size of the whole slot1 board, and is mounted on the cpu. the heatsink is fixed with a metal plate, of about the size of the cpu, which is mounted on the opposite side (pcb side) with some kind of heat transfer pad, and goes through 4 holes in the pcb to hold the heatsink. on the heatsink itself, there is no possibility to mount a fan. the fins are about 2cm high and have a distance of about 0.5cm and go all over the heatsink. on the pcb side, in the metal plate, there are 2 slots, which might eventually be used to mount something, but i wonder if it makes sense to mount a fan on this side of the pcb, where there's no cpu and no heatsink. hope you can help me! thanks! tino Jake Anderson Gesendet von: pic microcontroller discussion list 23.01.03 09:37 Bitte antworten an pic microcontroller discussion list An: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Kopie: Thema: Re: Active Cooling required for CELERON 333 ?? yeah it needs a fan (does it have the intel heatsink (ornate thingie centered on the processor) or an aftermarket one (usually big thing with regular spaced fins)) all chips after some of the faster 486's need fans basically ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 7:26 PM Subject: [OT]: Active Cooling required for CELERON 333 ?? > I bought a celeron 333 processor from a shop closing sale. > This slot 1 processor board has only a passive aluminium cooler, but no > fan on it. > Does the celeron 333 processor need no fan to be cooled, is the passive > cooler enough? > thanks! > tino > > -- > http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics > (like ads or off topics) for you.
