I just found this thread because my P5A just came in and I quickly realized that the StarTech FAN370Pro (of which I have three) doesn't fit on the board with the 20-pin power cable connected...

Looking at Amazon, I settled on StarTech's FANP1003LD which restricts it's girth to within 5cm square and should handle the Pentium 233 MMX I'm going to use without any issues, although it will probably be a bit noisy.

Thanks for this thread, I just ordered some of those small celeron coolers. They should look nice in tandem on my tyan s1564d

They are a nice little cooler, might grab a couple for my spares stock, the other option is to grab a cheap SS7/370 heat sink and throw a noctua fan on there, heat sinks are usually pretty cheap and the small noctua fans are not usually expensive either.
