the other one that i am going to put on was on a pentium 75 or 133. slightly bulkier than stock. The heatsink/fan i took off an AMD is too bulky to be efficient. It wouldn't even touch the chip and its like 3x the size of these other 2
Yeah, so I did this today as well:

The fan is 12V, but I've got it wired to 5V and cannot hear it at all.  The sticks are currently at 337.5 Mhz, vcore of 0.74V and can almost feel warmth in the heat sink.  Won't go much higher, as my input is down to 4.90V already.

It fits in my PC where the cat won't try sleeping on it--nice to have options.

Are the Orange and Yellow/Orange and Black wires in the first picture soldered directly to your sticks? Are those monitoring your vCore?

Another question, why kind of thermal interface material are you using? Thanks for posting the pics, that is a great idea to put these inside the PC case.
