Hi Trevor.
> Are Cyrix MII-300 [...] known to be major heat sources?
My experience has been that all Cyrix processors generate far more heat than the equivalent Intel, and these in turn generate slightly more heat than the equivalent AMD processor, although there's little to choose between the last two in this regard.
I understand some fan manufacturers have separate fans for Cyrix and non-Cyrix processors for precicely this reason.
You may wish to check whether your Cyrix processor has a non-Cyrix fan on it, as that could easily be the cause of your problem.
Best wishes from Riley.
