I skipped over the whole P-II family when I put together my C300A/450 box. Now I'm beginning to accumulate a few second (maybe third or fourth) hand processors, and I'm wondering what kind of cooling they need? I see that there's a golden orb for slot processors, but it seems to be for SECC-2, whereas the P2's are SECC (the one i have cureently anyway, a 66FSB 300 part).

Also, are there a lot of intel retail fansinks lying around on people's shelves? These probably won't be overclocked, and I'd like to go for the silent box effect. several mobo manuals i have actually show P2's being installed with passive heatsinks, which would be ideal if they actually work/are available.

pointers anyone? thanks in advance.

Check out 2CoolTek.com....he should have something for ya. PII's run kinda warm....would hesitate not using active cooling.
