Is it possible to run 400mhz Celly's with passive cooling? I have a BP6 with two of these bad boys, and was curious if there was a heatsink large enough to allow passive cooling.

These won't be doing too much, just file serving, and possible web serving (just for pics for family to see), so load won't be that big of an issue...
 
I thought I was the only one that still had the ol BP6.... I've got 2 BP6 systems...
Of cource mine are overclocked...

I would run em at around 1.9 or 1.95 volts and just put a large passive cooler on it. Those chips dont need the full 2 volts. one of my systems is running OC'd at 1.95 volts

those chips can take alot of heat. I once ran one without a heat sink for about a minut.... it got real hot, but it still works... burnt my finger.... :(

oh, and also, if you can get your hands on windows 2003 server, it will give you a significant performance boost on that system. I still game on mine...
