Via fanless heatsink on a K6-2

[Tom]

Would this work? My K6-2 never put out much heat, and once I've found an old HDD - I am gonna set it up as a Smoothwall box for my network.

Basically it'll need to be on all the time and it'll need to be dead silent.

The main question is if it'll fit the socket.

The second would be, would I need to de-clock it to let it run stably? Smoothwall doesn't exactly require much in the way of MHz...

its a socket 370 cooler, not socket 7.

i already asked graeme this for a k6-2 i have got, i dont fancy using epoxy etc if i cant use the clips.

I've been thinking of trying something similar. I'm running a K6-2 450 until my new rig is finished, I thought about using either the Zalamn Graphic card heat spreader or the Motherboard heatsink.

I've got socket 370 coolers that'll fit on a socket 7 one. Easily, and vice versa in fact.

I'm just wondering if anyone's actually used them on K6-2s, or other Socket 7 CPUs.
