Amadala's Original Fan/HS
Amadala is the name of my sister's machine. It's an Emachine 500a, with upgraded Ram(now 192MB), and Hard drive(now 40GB). This Fan/HS is the original, it was replaced with a Antec Dual Fan Heatsink, but currently uses a single Radio Shack 2.36in. fan(Model 273-239).Agent Cooper's Burnt Fan
Agent Cooper is a dual 100mhz 586(S5). One night it started making a rattle, but I was too lazy to investigate the noise. The next morning, when I started using the machine, it quickly locked-up. After hurriedly turning off the machine, I unscrewed the fan to find the underside of the fan a brown color(see right picture), where once it was white. Fortunately there was no damage to the processor, at least none that I could find.
Gilligan's First Fan/HS
Gilligan is a 100mhz 586(S7). This is my favorite heatsink, for two reasons: It was my first Fan/HS(I was using a 386/33), and I like the way it attaches to the processor. The plastic ring gets slid unto the processor, and after putting the chip into the socket, the heatsink screws into the ring. Even after the fan failed, I kept using the heatsink with bigger fans. Eventually I got a newer heatsink, but it uses a clip. :(
Jabba and Khan's Fans
Jabba is a dual 150mhz 586(S7). Khan is a 200mhz P-Pro(686). The left fan is from Jabba, it was making noise and moving slower for a while. But, it was attached to a peltier cooler, so I wasn't in a hurry to replace it.
The right fan is from Khan, it had started making noise so I left the case open, and put that mark on it so I could quickly tell if it was still spinning. Khan now has the same fan as Amadala.
A friend's Heatsink
I replaced a friends Fan/HS and I asked for the old one. I don't remember what happened to the fan.
Bad Heatsink A
This is a Radio Shack Model 273-151 Fan/HS, the fan was used in Jabba. The heatsink is useless, the clip is too ridged and can't reach the socket tabs, even without the processor installed.
Bad Heatsink B
This is another useless RS heatsink. The tabs on the sides are too far apart to fit onto anything.
Another RS Heatsink
This heatsink(RS model: 273-152), was only bought for the fan, Gilligan needed it. This heatsink, however, looks like it would actually fit the intended processor.
Two Big Fans
These are two big 3 inch fans. The left one's from an old AT case which had Mr. Linux's Mobo. The right one is from Gilligan's front grill.
Five Misc. Fans
The top left fan is from an unknown source.
The top right is an RS fan from Gilligan.
The bottom left and middle are both RS Model: 273-240. They were used in Amadala, they failed after about 3 months.
The bottom right is from Agent Cooper.
