I'm in the process of replacing an SS7 AMD K6-2 with a S370 VIA C3 and I was wondering what kind of cooling solution it requires. Is it a lightweight CPU like the Celerons, or do I need something capable of cooling the faster Coppermines/Tualatins?

The CPU in question is a Samuel C3 667 (133x5.0, 2.0V)

Celeron cooler will suffice.

Would an AMD K6-2 cooler also work, or would that not cut it?

Celeron Mendocino and typical late Socket 7 coolers are more or less identical.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
