Intel Socket 370 CPU that's easiest to keep cool

Which Intel socket 370 CPU would be the best for trying to keep it as low of a temperature as possible? I'm opting for a Celeron or Pentium III between 600MHz and 1.2GHz? What would be the best out of these choices? I know there is the Coppermine core for the Pentium III and Celeron as well as the Tualatin core for the 1GHz and faster Celerons. I'm looking to keep the system bus speed at 100MHz. Would it be easier to underclock a Pentium III from 133MHz to 100MHz FSB and run it very cool without a fan, or would it be easier to run a Celeron 100MHz FSB at stock speed and keep it cool? ANd which core would be best for whatever CPU being a Celeron at stock speed or a Pentium III FSB underclocked? I'm looking to keep the CPU cool with just a heatsink and no fan.

Help greatly appreciated.
 
I have 2 PIII coppermines and they run pretty hot.. I never tried underclocking (and udervolting) them tho (rather always overclocking ;) ). I'd say that if it's possible - only with a zalman heatsink..
 
366 celeron my friend had came stock without a fan.. I know that's a bit slow but the 366 was a good chip.
