I have a P3/550, slot 1
the cpu fan is noisy, so I remove it
but I am not sure about heat sink

What will happen if CPU overheat?
What damage will be done to other computer parts?

BTW how effective is a fan?
If max room temperature is 35 degrees for a CPU with a fan,
then, max will be decreased by how much if the fan is removed?

PUT BACK THE FAN!!!
IMMEDIATELY! YOU WOULD GIVE A CLIMATE DAMAGE TO ALL OF US! NO MORE
WINTER's!

If you are lucky: the CPU switches off the system before any damage is
done. If you are not so lucky, the CPU will die. If you have bad luck,
it will damage the motherboard, too.

That obviously depends on the fan.

I don't get the question. But what you need to know is: do not remove
fans from CPUs unless you really know what you are doing (or if you
don't care about the hardware).

I would start by googling for "passive cooling p3 slot" or something to
that effect.

Install lm-sensors it should tell you the cpu temp, and the max.

Once its installed, run

# sensors-detect

and follow the instructions, once thats done, run

$ sensors

If it gets to hot, normally it will under-clock itself or the system
will shutdown.

Buy a new fan

It'll crash. No damage to other parts, save from the reduction in your
CPUs lifespan from it overheating repeatedly. Given how old P3/550s are
now though, you've almost certainly had your money's worth already.

Effective enough to stop your machine from crashing under load, I
suspect.

I am afraid lm-sensors depends on BIOS for info about CPU
I have browse BIOS menu, have not found any CPU monitoring info

You'll just ruin the CPU, nothing else. I've ruined a few of them.


> BTW how effective is a fan?

Very. There is no "passive cooling", nothing is cooling that CPU
without the fan.

It doesn't matter if the room is 0 degrees. No fan -> burnt CPU. End
of discussion. Especially with a power-drainer such as a PIII.

maybe my English isn't good enough, I mean:

if maximum temperature of PC's environment is 35 degrees
then, maximum will be decreased by how much if the fan is removed?

If you leave your CPU without the fan long enough, you soon won't have
any CPU to worry about.


Seriously: if the CPU overheats, it should shut down of its own. Seeing
that this is a 550-MHz PIII, it could probably work without a fan,
provided that your heatsink is well seated and there is a fresh,
effective layer of thermal paste between it and the CPU. If I were you,
though, I wouldn't play with fans.



BTW how effective is a fan?


Quite effective. Some designs require a fan and will simply overheat
without one.



If max room temperature is 35 degrees for a CPU with a fan,
then, max will be decreased by how much if the fan is removed?



Your max room temperature only has limited influence on the final
temperature of the CPU.
