The recommended heatsinks (see section on recommended heatsinks for more in- formation) for the Pentium II processor are those with three-pin fans that can be connected to the fan connectors on the motherboard.

WARNING! Be sure that sufficient air circulation is available across the processor’s heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.
