Hi

Can any remember about installing a P2 266 slot one chip. Just built
a new P2 266 system from old left overs. The parts haven't been used
in years but suprising all work OK.

On the P2 chip there is just a large heat sink but no fan. I can't
remember if the chip ever had a fan. Would the heat sink alone be OK
or do I need a fan?

My main aim is to just run Linux on a quiet machine, so no fan would
be ideal.

Thanks.

Rich

You don't need a fan for a P2. In fact if I recall technicall you almost
don't even need a heatsink....

NO, you do need either a fan or a relatively large passive
heatsink and chassis with airflow routed through that passive
'sink.

You must be thinking of Pentium 1, P2 Klamath (233-300MHz) were
much hotter running. That's not to say it's hard to cool them,
but they're not the chips you're thinking of.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Early P2's REQUIRE A HEATSINK AND FAN

later ones can get away with just a large passive heatsink, and a good case
airflow.

I have a dual 233 system, and the chips in that get really hot [too hot to
touch] with an 120mm fan next to them

Just about all retail P2's I've seen came sealed in a plastic sleeve with
hs/f integrated (including mine).

The only time I've seen them with just a large heatsink is in OEM systems
such as compaq deskpro's (I have 3 of em @ work like that.. between 300Mhz
and 400Mhz.. they don't even have a case fan..).

If yours has a bare heatsink, then I doubt it needs a fan on it..

Hi

Its been running now for almost 48 hours with no problems. The noise
difference is amazing. Although I have noticed that the PSU power
supply is blowing air onto the fan area with I suppose does help.

FreeBSD on a P266 is bloodly fast.

Thanks.

Rich

Agreed. I have a Klamath 233 (2.8 vcore) that runs quite hot, it was
originally in a Compaq so has no fan attached (originally had a case fan
blowing at it). I swapped it out for a 450 Deschutes (2.0 vcore), same
set-up, passive sink out of a Compaq, same size sink, and it runs cooler. I
have a fan set up blowing over the thing, wouldn't run it without unless the
case was a wind-tunnel with the air-flow in line with the fins on the sink.
