- The 486sx-25 CPU in my system (Compumate - Opti chipset) gets so hot that
- I can hardly touch it! (even after a few minutes!).
-
- Now it is a genuine 25MHz chip as it has a -25 printed on the CPU, but
- is it really supposed to get that hot? I seriously doubt the reliability
- of the damn thing. I'd like to know how hot a 33 or 50MHz board gets!
-
- Should I get one of those mini-fans or some kind of heatsink? It's impossible
- to keep my finger on the cpu for more several seconds.
