I remember that before DX2/66 i wasn't seen on chip labels about "heatsinks". On DX2/66 there was label "heatsink required".
But on DX4 label was "heatsink and fan required".

- jeffbee 4y agoYeah people have forgotten this but when the Pentium came out and all Pentium PCs required a CPU fan, this was criticized by many reviewers. Now I have an Intel CPU with a motorcycle-sized radiator and a coolant pump :-|
- qbasic_forever 4y agoSuch a silly criticism too since hard drives of the era were so obnoxiously loud.
- mmcgaha 4y agoI had a pentium 66 with just a huge heat sink. My pentium 133 had a fan but when I upgraded to a k6-2 I under clocked it so I could just use a heatsink. It was 2015 before I finally got another fanless computer.
- hulitu 4y agoI had an AST Cyrix 486 DX/2 66 without heatsink.
