Thinking about ~8 of these for the s370 machines in my school that sometimes randomly shut down b/c of heat issues. The only mainboard with temp monitoring (Shuttle AV18) has a small 50mm Thermaltake anodised black aluminium HS, with AS5 and Celeron FCPGA 733. I get temp readings in the BIOS of about 35°C/95°F at idle, which I think is rather high. The rest (Trigem Cognac) have 60mm passive HS's (fan above it though) with Celeron PPGA 433 and generic thermal gunk (1 with AS5; most stable). If I install new HSF's into the computers, I'll use AS5. Would the above HS be good enough?
EDIT: Forgot about a couple computers. We’re also running a 1.2GHz Celeron Tualatin with a 60mm AVC aluminium HSF that’s so clogged with dust. Prob. will just blow the dust out with a can of compressed air. We also have 1.0GHz Celeron (IIRC Coppermine) that I don't know what HSF is in.
