Are these old beast o/c at all?

What would be a suitable yet rather cheapish cooler for it?

throw-it-away /Fawlty

Seriously though, just stick it something disposable and if you're board is a good o/cer get an Allendale P4 duallie, i get 3.0ghz out of my 1.6 chip on a stock cooler with a bit of a volt tweak

That's my friend's old CPU and the cooler just gave up. Looking for a cheap replacement that will hold the temps ok.
I know I can bumb the FSB up a bit so would at least want to give it a go

Yea you might get a 3.4-3.6 out of it, think my best did 4Ghz with water cooling... no real gains though man lol.

They run HOT, plus even at 10GHz it'd still be slow as hell
