Did the 486 typically not have a fan?

    I think it didn't have anything! I've got vague memories of passively cooled pentiums but it can't have been long before the fans came out

    (...and honestly, my memory is so bad I've got Abraham walking on the water in the book of revelation)

    My 486 had a small heatsink with square block fins, like this one except minus the plate on top with the "overdrive" label (because mine was what the system came with, not an upgrade):
