I am putting together a system that I want to use a 200MMX CPU in.
 
I am concerned about cooling and note that MMX's don't have the plain
flat top that earlier Pentiums had. How do you safely/reliably attach
a cooling heatsink/fan to them? The fans I see around here are flat
as though they were made for 486/586 style encasements. Will they work
with an MMX or is there something special available?
 
Is there a danger of the regular heatsink causing shorts on the exposed
metal parts?
 
Thanks.
