UPTO 80 degrees? :o
Okay screw ordering another fan..mines well under that..thanks for the response. :)

Oh yeah, they're rated ridiculously high. Seems wrong, at first, but they work great. My PII 400 regularily operates at ~35 Celcius.

What does "lapping" mean (in regard to heatsinks)?
Is there a good opensource program to report the temperatures of Athlon chips on Shuttle MB?
I think I'm going to install some duct work to my computer before the summer. It gets up to
Thanks.

I have an AMD 1.2ghz which runs at 60 degrees, I thought this was way too high. I did some checking and apparently there are some amd chipsets that will report the temp as double what it actually is. You'll have to do some checking to see if yours is one of these.

lapping is lightly sanding in order to make the surface as smooth/level as possible. Any imperfections in the heat sink (or the metal plate on top of intel chips) means that parts of the heatsink won't be touching the chip and vice versa... so true l33t overclockers (and other people concerned about heat dissiapation on their cpu's/etc) lapp their heatsinks/etc in order to make the best surface to surface contact for optimal thermal transferrence...

If its not done correctly you can actually make it worse. It shouldn't be necessary unless your trying to get crazy with your CPU.
