HOLY CRUD! That is the best looking cooling with a fan I have ever seen. Is it even loud?! I honestly thought passive cooling looked cool enough, but this is very impressive. I don't think I've ever been impressed by an active cooling solution as much as this. That is way better than water cooling if you ask me. The lead doesn't even crawl all over the place.

I don't like Slot 1 processors because cooling is a pain.

This is my solution. It is a Pentium III 1.1 GHz with a Slot 1 to S370 adapter. The copper cooler is from StarTech.com, a very short copper cooler, quite substantial / heavy and works terrific. I also use a fan controller to lower the rpm.

Huh. I was unaware there was cooling solution for the hershey bar. Learn something new everyday!

There are many other coolers that fit in these holes too. I haven't seen this particular solution before but it looks very noisy with that tiny fan.
I use a silent 120mm fan myself, although Pentium 2&3 can easily survive on passive cooling even with a small heatsink.

Its not noisy given how most 40mm rans run but some of us have owned ones that ran 6k+ rpm. Very good solution but back then it would have been expensive and most system builders did anything thing to shave off even a few cents off their cost. Draft style cooling does wonders when allowing hot air to rise instead of forcing it off in odd directions forming loops and dead zones.

Holering, watercooling is superior to it. α between a metal surface and water is way more than α between a metal surface and turbulent airflow.

Phil, great cooler!

nforce4max, it's fairly easy to plug it into 5V line to reduce noise significantly 😀

Anyway, I wish I had one of these. They are very cool 😀

You're probably right. But I find water cooling to be too expensive and inappropriate in a well maintained computer. If I'm overclocking to beat certain scores I might as well use liquid nitrogen or something like that. I think more metal with quiet fans is better.

I honestly wouldn't mind a modern cartridge with multiple CPU wafers spread across with heatpipes and a Hershey bar. Hershey bar is a great term for that slot 1 🤣.

EDIT:
I just thought that water cooling on a hershey bar would be way better than current water coolers 🤣.

That's cool! Slot 1 is still my favourite although I've only really seen the standard OEM heatsinks or larger OEM style ones, nothing as left field as this!
You could put another fan on the other side and setup push/pull style cooling, probably not really needed but...wait for it... pretty cool 😉

Those mount points are also for an additional support bracket. This pic is of a retail box P2 setup.

^ correct, I have a couple of mobos like that

That looks incredible. Mine is clocked too slow to need any sort of fan, but I can just imagine the damage I could do with one of those!

Klamaths are hot... Even at low clock.

Mine is a Deschuttes, but all of my Slot 1 boards have those mounting points. The manual just says you MUST (!!!) use a support bracket under the heatsink. Well I don't have one, so too bad.
