I run a G3 900mhz ZIF in my B&W with just the stock heatsink. Installing the fan kit I got for that heat sink crashed my hard drive, I guess due to the power it was using through one of the hard drive power connectors... It generally doesn't overheat unless I'm downloading a lot of stuff at once on Limewire.
Yes, but the CPU that you have was designed to run at 900MHz. My CPU was made for 450MHz and I'll be running it at 100MHz faster! That tends to make the CPU considerably hotter than it usually gets. The power connector I'd use to plug the fan onto would be the spare one that comes from where the front control panel gets it's power. I don't want to throw in a mondo fan, just one that will move enough air to keep things cool.
