Have a look at my pictures of the standard cheap heatsink/small fan I sell
on my P3 600cpus .

The point is these are all tested overclocked to 800Mhz at default voltage
and still
the basic cheap heatsink/ fan is fine for running even overclocked speeds.

Changing heatsink/fans to bigger coolers only gave me 5-7degrees cooler
temp.
The Pentium 3 core does not need massive cooling to run stable
The high temp/heat generated by Atlon cpus are a different story.
