Hand me Down guy here new to the group doesnt know what 2 do

Post by teky69 »

:D I just got my hand me down bp6, in a thrift store. Its got a set of dual celeron 366's. However, theres a kink in my plans into turning this into an awesome up to date machine. I'm trying to find heatsinks, for this board, and I'm finding that most or rather all heatsinks dont fit because of the capacitors or transistors or what not that is located right around each socket. To make matters worse one of the tabs on the second socket has broken off. Can anyone recommend me a few decent or cheap heatsinks for this board, and any suggestions what to do about one of the missing mounting tabs on the second socket. Oh and the target temp, and power and speed settings to get the most out of these awesome 366's =). My plans are to play around and learn the board as I am finding a great weatlh of info at this particular site to the point where its confusing where to begin, eventually I will do the mods as well. Does anyone know if I can also mix and match different speed celerons? thanks Alex the noob

If you like QUIET & efficient cooling, the best low-cost HSF with best fit to BP6 is the EverCool CUD-715 with copper sink & 70mm fan.
The CUD-725 is OK too & has a much stronger clip engagement - but its fan is too noisey for me. Fits just perfect too.

nexfan.com sells either at $15-17 each & Qty. (2) discounts available.
You will not get more cooling for your money than these.
