Yes, I actually meant 550. Just a typo. I am going to try cooling the AGP
set. Since this chip's temperature isn't monitored, I didn't even think
about it. Like I said, both CPU's stayed within operating temp ranges.
What exactly do you have to do to mount the 486 fan to the AGP set. Are
their mounts on it, or do you just glue it down, or what?
