I was playing Quake on my Dell GX pro 200Mhz and I happen to touch the heat sink and it was so hot it burned my hand. I don't know if that's that normal but I don't want my system running like that. So I installed some random P III CPU fan and tapped it to one of the molex plugs 5v side to help keep things quite. And now the heat sink is not even warm to the touch.
Check your passively cooled PC's and be sure to keep them cool for a nice long life!
Ya I know it's a hillbilly repair but it works well.
