Anyone cooling an old P133 w/ just a heat sink?

I have a Pentium 133 box I'm using for a router/firewall but the cpu fan is getting loud. Is there a cheap heat sink I can use instead or a place where I can get a cheap but quiet fan replacement?

The wires feeding the cpu fan currently is warming up from the resistance of a fan going bad.

I have ran 133's before without a fan, however they do get quite warm but never had one lock up or have any heat related issues.

It should run fine. I have an Old P120 that I'm cooling with just a passive sink. They dont output much heat, and they dont get too flaky at high temperatures either.

my old p133 with only a heatsink just fine.

I had an old compaq p166 that just had a large heatsink. In fat I have the heatsink in front of me now. It ran fine for 4 years 24/7.

How did you remove the old fan that came with the P133; it seems to be glued on.

I found a website Nexfan that offers a CoolMaster for cheap.
I figure if it's too loud I can just pull the fan plug.

i was thinking about artic epoxying one to mine, it kind of weird, doesn't seem like micron used thermal paste under their heat sinks, anyways i'mna just epoxy mine (its a retail athalonxp aluminum heatsink)

back then thermal compound wasnt necessary... ive got a p133 system in front of me and it has no compound or fan on the heatsink

Mwhaha, I have a P233 with a HS only. No fan... but then again... this heatsink is larger than the retail HSF I have for my P4
