Hey everyone, I have my two 366 celerons @550 stable, with two
globalwin FEP 32s, but I want to do something about that crappy looking
green heatsink that's on the chipset, I tried replacing it with a
sink/fan that I was using originally for the processors, but it was too
heavy for the thermal compound to keep it on there. Does anyone know of
a way to mount a bigger better sink/fan on that thing?

Carefully remove one of the two plastic pins to get acces to the chip
surface, apply some thermal paste, put "greeny" back on and _screw_
on a 486er cooling fan. That's all. (BTW, I have the same configuration
and it runs stable without extra fan, so what's the deal since you say
your system is stable, too)

am considering a BP6 for my pair of overclockable 366's, have you tried a
GeForce on this setup?

No, I haven't. I'm not a gamer and still use my old 4 MB Riva 128 grafic card
:-)

I am running BP6/dual C366at550/3 DIMMs/all SCSI-no IDE, no ISA and CLAP
(Creative Labs Annihilator Pro); everything is running great. I am dual
booting Win98 (4.10.1998) and NT5 (RC2). The are 4 PCI adapters installed
also, so this is a moderately complex setup. The SC750-A cases is loaded
with fans, the Pro is overclocked to 135(core) and 330 (memory). Heat is a
non-issue with this setup.

I replaced it with a sink and fan rig from millisec.com. It has a self
adhesive transfer pad . It has been on for about a month and has stayed
on.Look under video card coolers. They were very prompt to ship and chare a
flat $4.oo shipping. Hope this helps. Put it on a bp6

There is an article on www.bp6.com on installing a fan on the BX chipset
heatsink.
