Winterlight,
Very nice idea. Understand the plastic getting brittle over time. I will
search. And, I may still have some small monitored 12v fans I can
"retrofit" here. Agree on the cooling load. The heat sinks are really
large based on my past P3 experience. I have never "felt" them much
above "warm" even years ago when I did sorta manage to drive both cpus
to 100% (per task mgr) for ~30 minutes.
Gotz to love the collective!
Best,
Duncan

I had that problem on a dual PIII 1.33 GHz CPUs with the same Intel
stock coolers. I would move the fans to clean and the dried up plastic
clip would break. Measure the fan size and order just the fans, from
Newegg or Cyberguys and use four sheet metal screws to hold them in
place. It doesn't take a lot to keep them cool.

I have a 'now' skreechy hs/fan on one of the P3-1000 cpu's of my

I would guess that the server's cpus may be 5+ years old. From my
read of my old server (Intel) pdf files, I believe that the HS/Fan's
are stock Intel as supplied with the cpus. The snap on fans are
Sanyo-Denki and do have Intel decals as bearing covers. For now, I
will lubricate the top bearing of the fan and continue until
replacements are in-hand, or, total EOL failure.
I really need to replace both HS/Fans. Direct RPL would be nice. LOL!
Replacement requires a complete server tear apart (for me). Intel
printed paragraphs cautioning about clearances around the P3 sockets
on the STL2! Ain't old stuff so much fun?
Does anyone have some commercial links or "old-part" contacts to share?
Not a crisis. The machine works fine. Recently upgraded in fact! Just
need to fix this by 3Q 2011.
Thank you.
Best,
Duncan
