AAVID SINGLE FAN
The Aavid single fan, short finned heat sink is the standard fare sold by many retailers with the Celeron in order to receive a warranty with your new processor.  The heat sink came with a Thermal Technologies 10 mm (thick) by 50 mm square ball bearing fan.  While this heat sink will suffice for the non overclocked processor in a decently vented case, it falls far short of the performance needed for the overclocked processor.  On the plus side, it is a well manufactured unit that attaches easily with a quality clip.  The fan is also moderately quiet at its 4300 RPM blade speed as tested on my system.

The heat sink (without fan) makes a great back plate for those wishing to mount a PII style heat sink to the slug.


The Aavid heat sink is shown without a fan and used as a backing plate for 
the so-called Celery Sandwich.  Notice the great difference in the size of the 
heat sink fins between the Aavid and the CPU Cooler models.
