Purrkur: You may want to correct that link. An "h" fell off the front of it.

I have GlobalWin FEP32M on mine. Unlike the FEP32, they do not need to be modified to clear the caps.

I don't think they are made any more and you may find them hard to track down.

I can no longer recommend the FEP32M.

I have just dismantled my BP6 computer, and the FEPs' retaining clips have become bent due to pressure. As a result, the heatsinks were at an angle and barely making contact with the Celerons. :?

Fortunately, no damage has been done.

Lesson for today: Check your HSFs are making good contact on a regular basis. 8)
