Does anyone know where I can get a good Socket 5 CPU cooler?

I have a tower with a Socket 5 motherboard in it but when it was shipped, USPS decided to use it as a bouncy house and when it arrived the cooler was decimated as well as the PC speaker.

Thanks.

eBay. Sk7 heat sinks will work too.

There are still plenty of socket 7 and 370 era coolers that can be used and most are cheap. If all else just replace the fan if it had one.

Socket A/462 HSFs can work too, though these tend to be big and you might not have enough room around the socket to fit one.
