You'd be better off just getting a CPU Cooler Fan. 
Most dealers who sell Cyrix or AMD CPU's won't 
even guarantee the CPU for five minutes if you don't 
have a fan.  All of my Cyrix CPU's have fans.  I only 
have trouble with one of them, an old 686-233 
(Cyrix instead) which I found out did not have any heat 
sink compound on it.  The motherboard is now suffering 
from the heat problems of the CPU and I frequently have 
to boot several times to get the monitor up, and the CD 
Drive is only available on boot up, and then disappears. 
All the dealers I've talked to have advised me that this is 
a common problem and you should save yourself from 
the expense of a new MB and get a fan before you use 
Cyrix or AMD because they all run hot enough to fry 
the chip and MB due to their basic architecture.
