Here is a link to a very good web site with information about cpu heatsinks that you might find interesting:

BTW - Since you mentioned having an "old" 8800, how old is it and when was the last time you replaced the thermal compound between the heatsink and the cpu? Are all the fans still working?

Hmmm, I think he's talking about a GPU heatsink?
I haven't replaced one of those in quite some time, but I had a Zalman VF-700 that worked very well and was nearly silent.

AW GEEZ! Looks like I screwed up.

I'm an old fart and I am growing old disgracefully. I bought my first pc in 1984. I seem to recall somebody had a pc system called an 8800.

Now it's coming back to me

NEC PC-8800 pc way back in 1983:
