I wanted to also point out that my 2.4c ran without the fan on the stock heatsink for a few hours before I realized there was no fan going. The Winbound hardware doctor read me at 70C. I replugged in the fan and now it's reading between 50 to 58C @ 205FSB depending on how stressed the system is. My system temp stays at around 32C. This with a steel miniATX case that has one 92mm fan blowing out. Plus, I live in the deep south. I don't know how accurate the temp readings are, but I do know my system did not crash. So, for a reference point, I know I can overclock to the point of it getting to read 70C in hw doctor. It's a very snappy system. Should be a breeze to get a very quiet setup using a Zalman 7000 and removing my case fan. Did I just get a good chip, or what's the deal?
