Hi all, I recently became a happy owner of a Pentium Pro 200 ( socket 8 ) system. I got the mobo the CPU and the ram. I'm trying to find a cooler for my CPU. Didn't find any on eBay (yet). Is there a place where I can look for a cooler for my system ?Thank you in advance

Yes ! There are a few different types but search Ebay for Pentium Pro heatsink popped up three. I have a Vantec similar to https://www.ebay.com/itm/284291381002
and it works OK for standard P.Pro's with 256k and 512k but would not use it for the 200Mhz 1Mb cache version, not quite big enough....fixed grammar

It seems fine in my experience with the 200MHz/1MB chip. I even run it at 233MHz.
