Recommended Heatsinks

The recommended heatsinks for the Pentium II processor are those with three-pin fans that can be connected to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard. These heatsinks have the added benefits of proper heat dissipation and with the LM78 hardware monitor, the ability to monitor the fan’s RPM and use the alert function through monitoring programs such as LDCM and ASMM.

IMPORTANT: The heatsinks must not be more than 2.8 cm (1.1 inch) thick.
