Re: [aclug-L] Heatsinks...

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are many heat sinks that will clip to the actual CPU rather than to
the tags on the CPU socket... and CPU fans are cheap (usually $5-$10).
You could probably get one at Command Computer Surplus or NCR.

Or... I have one of the clip-style CPU fans, if you'd want to trade CPU
fans, I'd be willing to make the trade... e-mail me privately if
interested, and we can work out arrangements.
