- I bought a 486DX/50 about two months ago. When I bought it
- I had a heat sink with fan installed, this is something that isn't
- included in all systems, you have to specially request it. Anyway,
- after several attempts the fan that is attached to the heat sink is still
- loud and causes vibration. The case seems to have adiquate air
- flow, so would a heat sink be enough to provide enough extra cooling to
- the chip? If not, what other options are avaliable to cool things off?
