i love the madness that is mounting the stock cooler onto the back of the case with the heatsink still on

    At first I thought they just didn't install the cooler, and figured... well, if the CPU didn't come with one, I can see how one might overlook that, especially if they came from the olden days before coolers were mandatory.

    Then I saw it..... I honestly don't know if mounting the CPU cooler as a case fan is better or worse!

    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):
