I have a Beige G3 with a 350MHz G3 pulled from a B&W G3, running at
366MHz. Ive heard these processors can often make it to around 450MHz. However,
if I run at those speeds in my Beige G3, would it be beneficial to use a
processor cooling fan? Radio Shack sells fans that look like theyd fit great for
like $20 or less.
Hey Chris.
I got a 350Mhz/1Mb ZIF up to 433, at the stock 66MHz bus and 33MHz PCI bus. Only wish I could use it however; mine is defective and won't run at any speed, nor in a ZIF carrier in a PCI Mac, without horribly corrupting the HD boot partition each time upon shutdown.
Never noticed a heat problem at any speed. Instead of a processor fan you might consider a fan that pulls across the PCI boards (see where the mounting place is up top near the power supply area?) That way you'd keep cool any PCI cards (my Radeon generates some heat) as well as pull some from the bottom of the board.
