Solve : Pentium Pro Heat Sink? |
|
Answer» I have a Pentium Pro 200MHZ. Should I have an active heat sink? I have a Pentium Pro 200MHz. Should I have an active heat sink? I also have a Gateway 2000 Pentium Pro-200, which is being retired. PASSIVE heat sink is all that is required. Power supply has fan that blows air across it. That's exactly what I have. It works fine, but I didn't want to wreck it. I mean the same setup, not a Gateway 2000. Would rather die than have that brand of COMPUTER.It is unwise not to install an active cooling solution. If there is no PSU fan blowing down on the passive fan, it will quickly overheat. I have witnessed this first hand with a 133Mhz Intel processor.I have a case fan that's parallel with the processor. It blows air right over the fins on the heat sink.See this: http://support.intel.com/support/processors/pentiumpro/sb/CS-011157.htm it doesn't say I have to have one. It only says I have to have proper airflow, which I do.A CPU fan is always advised for system stability. Yeah, I know, but there's lots of stuff wrong with my computer. You would PROBABLY gasp if you actually saw the inside of it.John_K_Perkins_Jr.... LOL is the stuff GROWING in there ? It would certainly be a good idea to have a cooling fan on the heat sink. dl65 It's a NAPA TAMS T-730/I That should tell you right there that it's not a home computer. It did have an active heat sink, but the fan died. I just put a passive one on that had taller fins and called it good. |
