What do you guys do for heatsinks/fans for your old rigs? I'm having trouble finding a good cooler for my P1 I've built. It's a P1-266MMX 1.9V chip, so it runs cooler already than the usual P1s, but I still need something. Do you mod modern fan units to it?
It all depends on how the socket and the computer is build.
Sometimes people are mounting K6-II coolers and because the heatsink is so big, the Pentium1 will sometimes run without any fan.
Just be creative. No need for a P1-specific cooler, if something better is avaliable. 😉
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....

How hot a p233mmx gets?
P1 don't need much in my experience - a simple sink and any amount of positive airflow should do it. In the day, one my rigs had a wire & duct-tape tube feeding air from a case-mount fan. The sink fan had died a noisy death, so that was quick fix that worked well enough I forgot about it till years after.
Thanks guys. I have plenty of room to work with. I'll grab a K6-II/III sink and try that. Thanks!
You should also note that socket 370 coolers fit on socket 7
And socket A coolers, but socket 7 motherboards often have capacitors or other components in the vicinity of the socket so a lot of aftermarket coolers for socket A don't fit.
