A different view of yesterdays CPU - using a tripod was a big help.

I have added the CPU fan, which is usually a pain to do. The CPU and motherboard instructions disagreed about when to instal the fan, so I followed the CPU instructions because it cost 3 times as much as the motherboard.
Intel 386 CPU. This is likely a legitimate 20MHz CPU. Many 16MHz CPU chips were re-marked to 20MHz or 25MHz to get an extra hundred dollars or more profit thus cheating both honest competitors and unknowing customers.
A computer's CPU cooling fan added to the GTOCP3 controller box of the AP3600 El Capitan mount to inhibit overheating.
As long as the ambient air temperature is cooler than the controller box's operating temperature, this simple fan and radiator fins will keep the controller's electronics several degrees cooler.
Initial tests were good, preventing the controller from reaching 100F.
A simple bent-wire clamp holds the fan to the box, with thermal grease providing a convective bond with the flat surface of the controller.

Back of CPU socket on Acer 4070 Travelmate motherboard.
In computer hardware, a CPU socket or CPU slot comprises one or more mechanical components providing mechanical and electrical connections between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board (PCB). This allows for placing and replacing the CPU without soldering.

I edited out the speed numbering from this CPU so it could be used as a generic socket-370 Pentium-3 with a front side bus (FSB) at 133MHz and a 256k cache.
