Socket 5

I have an old Pentium 60, and it sits in a Socket 5. Now has anyone heard of this ? I thought these sockets were only used in 486.

The fan went bad, and I'm looking for a replacement fan, but I can't find one because all other plain vanilla pentiums were socket 7.
 
Socket 5 was used because of the ridiculous amount of power P60's needed.

You can try to screw in a socket 7 fan, or you could blow a case fan over the heatsink too. Alot of Gateway2k's did that.

 
no bull miken ?

Since the original cooler was rather big, I'll try a to put a Socket 7 cooler on it.

The processor was f*cking hot even with the cooler. I burnt my fingers while I wanted to take it out of its socket...
 
from the nitpicky department:

The Pentium 60's were Socket 4 cpu's, requiring 5 volts to operate, thus generating all the heat. Socket 5 operated at 3.3V.

Saw a couple of Pentium 60's cheap on "that huge #1 Internet Classifieds site" ...one had a heatsink. There's an overdrive 120 there for the pentium 60 that has a built-in-fan.
