Since I have overclocked my Pentiumm MMX 200 to a 233, I asked a little while ago about a heat sink, I was looking at my current one and the way it is setup is, quite interesting, it is a big heatsink that is about 2.5 inches high, and for a fan it uses the power pox fan, it has vents at the side of the power box which lay ontop of the heatsink, some people who may own a Dell Optiplex may knowwhat I am taliking about. Now finally here is my question is that enough for it or will it over heat. I have ran it 2 hrs straight and out of that 2 hours I ran an AVI video (which takes a lot of CPU power for this computer and the video still runs) and the prosser still seemed ok. I wonder if this means that it has enough to keep it cool? Thank-You

yes they don't really produce that much heat just touch the heatsink and see if its hot, if its really hot that will burnt ur finger then replace the heatsink with better one but i don't think its neccessarily coz since its a small increase going from 200mhz to 233mhz

Hey Jesse, as I tried to explain in another post...the old MMX CPU doesn't have overheating problems...at least nowhere near the problems that we see with "modern" CPUs today. I regularly test old socket 7 boards on the bench with just the CPU & no HSF at all...I don't run them for very long like that though. If I'm gonna run it for several minutes, I just set a heatsink on it...no fan, no clips. It gets warm, but not hot. Only if I'm gonna run it for an extended period do I bother to install the HSF the "right way". If you were to put an Athlon XP in a mobo & fire it up without a HSF in place, it'd cook before you got a chance to hit the off switch...LOL! What I'm getting at is you have nothing to worry about as long as you a heatsink with a fan on it. You don't need anything exotic...you don't need to run out & buy a $50 copper based unit with a high CFM fan...it's totally unnecessary. It sounds like everything is working fine & you have a successful overclcok...just kick back & enjoy it :)
