      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):

      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)

        Pentium I came with flimsy passive cooling.
        From Pentium II on or AMD K6-2 active cooling was the norm.
        486 typically went without cooling.
