PII Fan on PIII... Good Idea???

[Mota331]

Right now in one of my several computers I have an old Slot Celeron 400 OC to 450. And just today my place of work gave me a new old Pentium 3 550 computer. The computer is crap so I wanted to just use the CPU on my Celeron box. My MB will support it but I think I may need a new CPU fan. Does anyone think I could use my old 450 fan on my new 550 CPU?

Maybe with a couple of case fans it should not hurt. Just keep a eye on the processor temp for a while.

These case fans are costing some major money. I have to get to the store and buy like 8 fans to replace my PowerSupply, and case fans in my other computer, and now 2 more for that 450/550 computer. This is going to cost like $50 or more for halfway decent fans that are quiet.

Don't go there for panaflos, they jack you so bad. B. G. Micro has more reasonable prices.
