I've been piecing together a Blue and White G3 for about a month now.
I've got the case, Logic board, 450MHz G3, The Video Card, DVD-ROM,
power supply, fire wire board, and all the cables, and two 40-gig hard
drives. It has come down to two things before I try to turn it on:
Memory, and a CPU heatsink. I'm lining up a deal with a friend to buy
four 128MB ram sticks from him, so the memory is going to get worked
out. The problem is: I need to get a Heatsink. Not just any heatsink.
I don't want the stock heatsink! I want a heatsink with a fan on it!
Preferably copper based too! You see, although the CPU that I have is
450MHz I fully intend to overclock it to 500 - 550MHz. Just because I
can. I want a heatsink that can take that type of heat and get it away
from my CPU better than the stock passive aluminum heatsink can. That
leaves me trying to figure out what heatsink is going to fit onto my
G3! Does anyone here know what The ZIF in the B&W translates to in the
PeeCee world of heatsinks? Size wise socket A, socket 7, Socket 370,
all that jazz? Also I know I'm going to have a clearance issue, with
the zip drive bay being so close to the CPU how much space do I have
there? What are the exact dimensions of the stock heatsink? Not the
small one, or the one that came with the beige G3, but the larger one
with the contoured fins to adjust for the zip bay? Thanks in advance
for any help and advice!
