I'm putting together a new Win98 machine with some of the hardware from my last haul, but I noticed the PIII-500 was running with only passive cooling. Anyone know how hot these get and if I can could just cool it with case airflow?
New build specs:
Case Generic Black ATX Case, with a (now defunct) local PC store's badge (I dub this case "BlackMind")
CPU PIII-500Mhz Slot1
Mobo Asus P2B-D Motherboard
RAM 512MB (4x128mb) PC100
HDD WD 80GB IDE
ODD Pioneer DVD-RW IDE
Floppy Generic Black 3.5"
Video Rage Fury Pro 128 32MB (AGP) -- stolen from the PII-350 for now
Sound(Windows) Diamond Monster Sound MX300 A3D
Sound(DOS) Creative AWE64 CT4520 ISA
NIC 3Com Fast Etherlink XL (10/100)
Other OPTi Firelink USB 2.0
