Pentium 2 and work without a cooler?

Question

Iron

Good night, Habr!
There is a question. There is a home server, Pentium-2, slot.
Here it is:

Attention, question! Can this percentage work normally without a cooler? Now it has a buzzing four. The server acts as a home gateway.

Answer 1

remove the four and put the eight, or 92mm at low speeds.

Answer 2

A familiar situation ...
It will not work normally. Due to overheating, it will cut off after a while. This time can be measured from a couple of minutes to several hours - it all depends on the ambient temperature and loads.
It will work stably at an ambient temperature close to 0 (personally verified by my brother).

Answer 3

Look at the processor load. If the performance is excessive, you can lower the frequency (usually through the BIOS, on some boards through jumpers or DIP switches).

Answer 4

I worked for 2 years without a cooler on my balcony. Then my mother died. Prots is whole. Still lying around somewhere.

Answer 5

As colleagues said, it is impossible to completely turn off active cooling, this is fraught with consequences. If possible, cut a window into the case cover and install a 120mm silent breeze fan so that it blows the CPU heatsink well throughout the apartment . Enjoy the silence.
Of course, in today's conditions, it would be better to buy a used intel atom or an equivalent at an auction. For example, a used netbook with a damaged display. Or a new build, for example, like this:
ASUS AT4NM10T-I, NM10 Express, Atom D425, DDR3, mini-ITX www.ulmart.ru/goods/240389/

or cheaper (analogue from VIA, ASRock PV530-ITX, VIA VX900, VIA PV530, DDR3, mini-ITX) www.ulmart.ru/goods/219793/

Answer 6

Try to put 120mm on airflow, you can even try to hang it in the air on a thin harness, it helps very well with an open case or its absence.
