I just took delivery of six of them, all oem but I need to stick a fan on them.
I want to keep to genuine intel ones and have some from a 2Ghz S478 Celeron. Will that do? Are they a one size fits all temps design?

I dont think the clerons fan will cut it...it will fit...but prolly not cool well enough...

If you are not overclocking...you could give it a try...just watch the temps...if they go over 55c full load then you need to invest in a new heatsink...

The later P4 sinks have a copper core, more cooling area, and a faster fan. You'll likely run into heat problems.
