SL3W8 anyone?

SL3W8 - Those Intel Celeron 600 mhz CPU's with 1.5 VCore. I just ordered from a guy(second hand). They are amazingly low-heat CPUs AFAIK. I plan installing on it a heatsink from CM Aero 7+, and hopefully cool it without a fan. Is there anyone using/tried such a configuration? Feedback appreciated!

There was a certain large heatsink for slot1, which could cool <1GHz P3s fanless.

geeks.com has 1(!) of the 1.5v 566's left for $6.50:

and they have some 600's now by the looks of things:

I'm happy i'm not the only one still using older processors! You can pry my low voltage PIII's and Celerons from my cold dead hands!

We have been using a 1gig PIII passively cooled as a gateway now for nearly 4 years in a very small (Book style) micro ATX case the heatsink is a very large (for a PIII) passive Aluminium unit with a small copper slug in the centre - made by Foxcon
no heating problems what so ever even in 40 deg C. ambient temps here in AU.
I wish I could say the same for my 3.2 gig Northy that I am typing this on - With nearly a kilo of copper and a 92mm fan it still runs damned hot ANY TIME of the year -
Go the PIII

I just sold an 800mhz Celery taken out of a laptop on ebay for like $5

So,
I guess this processor will be easily cooled by this heatsink passively : (I will detach the fan)

There will be NO airflow around this HS. The system will be fanless. Am I right?

Is the p3 HS that you're talking about bigger than the one in the above picture?

Your link does not appear to work .
The heatsink I have been using is 70mmx70mm x 62mm high and has lots of square pins sticking up from the base with about 4mm spacing between the pins in both directions .
It was marketed as a 2RU rackmount cooler

I just measured it, it is 8 cm depth 7 cd width and 5 cm height. Close to your HS's volume. Considering my processor will dissipate much less heat than your P3, I'm almost sure it will work. Thanks for the info

Give it a try during a cooler part of the day and watch you temps if it is ok then try it at a hotter time.
But depending on heatsink design and case flow sounds like it should be OK
