How is this relevant to FR? We wouldn't be here on FR if it weren't for our Personal Confusers, would we?

Doesn't Transmeta have a superior chip to these two?

Don't use the AMD fans, they don't do the job. Get a Volcano or one of the other great ones;

I have no idea what you are doing, but the chips I test with NEVER get that hot. We aren't even testing with copper heat sinks... just the aluminum ones. We are however using the recommended Shin-Etsu G-750 grease. Using anything else voids the warrenty by company policy.

The FSB 400 Bartons run the same coolers as all the other chips in the XP line. The Opterons and Athlon64's run beefier heat sinks and better fans. OEM should do just fine though.

Seriously, I'd check to make sure your voltage settings are correct.

I read on /. recently that AMD has made use of thermal paste and substitute cooling fans a violation of it's EULA.

I am looking at this , current fan is loud but temp is only 42C degrees! AMD 2000+ on Gigabyte 7vaxp board with SCSI 10K Maxtor drive!

I'm running a XP2500 Barton overclocked to 2 GHz on a MSI K7N2L mobo with a Taisol fan. My CPU hasn't risen above 53C yet and the fan is very quiet.
