Does Cyrix provide a heatsink/fan with every 6×86 processor?
A. Well, they used to. According to the official 6×86 FAQ Cyrix is no longer providing a certified heatsink/fan with the 6×86. Specifications are now being supplied to assist the reseller in making the right heatsink/fan purchase instead. Just because Cyrix has stopped including a heatsink/fan with every 6×86 does not mean you do not need one. I don t recommend using a 6×86 without a heatsink/fan. Eliminating it means that Cyrix/IBM have significantly reduced heat issues with the 6x86L.
