I had a lot of free time, and I was putting together a computer for my parents, which is basically something to surf the web with, when I came across a cpu fan that was without a heatsink. I looked at the CPU fan on the Celeron, and compared the two, they looked the same. So I got two large screws and put the two together, and put them on the heat sink. I'm wondering, is this just a waste of case space ( and its a small case, an old emachines compact thinger ) or will this help keep the CPU cooler...not that a 367 MHZ Celeron needs a lot of cooling anyway, but still, I'm curious.
 
you got a very stupid idea.leave it like before.guess you dont have a hmonitor chip and that kind of experiments need to be checked if you go higer or lower -temp.or maybe you study aerodinamics.best regards
 
it maybe helps a little bit. but the added noise and power required just really isn't worth it. especially on a 367mhz celeron! }:p

but suppose you have a high-end system that needs lots of cooling... i guess you could get 2 somewhat quiet fans and do that and probably get 10-20% more airflow than just one... but i don't know about noise. i'm sure it'd be better to just get one higher-speed fan.
 
Nah, I know for the Celeron, it is tottaly unneeded, but, for a higher end system...and noise, I like noise.
 
i remember my 300amhz celeron back in teh day overclocked to 450mhz with nothing more than the stock heat sink and a 40mm cooler master fan..... that was a slot processor

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
