I take it | you're running a standard 1.33 Ghz set at 10x with a 133MHz bus. i'm running a 1.2-gig athlon and i have on the chip itself a cylindrical, two-fan, counter-rotating cooler with about four inches of heatsink fins, a slot fan, a front fan, the power supply fan of course, and an additional rear exhaust fan. chip runs quite cool. getting as much airflow as possible is the key, until tiny air-conditioners for chips are built. -- dep one day, you'll wish it was now. your wish has been granted. don't waste it.
