At default clock speeds they don't, but if you try to push the 060 beyond 75MHz, cooling goes from optional to necessary.
To OP:
Back in the day, I was a very early adopter and ordered one of the first Blizzard 1260s as soon as they became available in Germany ( and I live in Sweden) however I sold it sometime in the year 2001 or so..
Took a long time but some years ago I bought a rev 6 (latest version) 060 and had my Apollo 1240 upgraded by a fella in the forums known as mjnurney. (The Apollo must have a mach rev 131. If it's 130 you're out of luck.)
Anyhoo.. it was a surface mounted 040 which was desoldered from the board and replaced with a socketed 060. Apart from the required voltage fix (5 to 3.3V) the conversion also included a 64MB RAM mod (I have single module 64MB) and a RTC battery fix.
He did a very professional job and I'm happy with the board. I would agree that Blizzards are a better design, but if you happen to have an upgradable 1240 then the above mentioned conversation might be a good option.
