Pete,

I have to say that my Athlon is running quite warm, but I am using a low performance quiet fan (and only 1 extremely quiet case fan). I am running my 1.33 GHz at 1.45 GHz, just to test it. I am running SETI@home for about 3 days now, it is running at 55C. A work unit gets processed on average in about 4 and 1/2 hours.

Anyway, since I am still 40C below max die temperature, even when the CPU is heavily loaded, I don't see a reason to use higher performance CPU fan (and get more noise as a result).

Joe

Pete, so you're saying that if the Pentium III is heat-limited (according to your definition), I can easily overclock my processor with the stock heatsink and fan, since I would have a lot of headroom in regard to max die temperature, right?

If so, I'll pass. I have a overclocking "batting average" of about 0.300 in my lifetime, and I don't feel like wasting too much time trying to raise that average.
