You know that this thread was running for some time ([patch] amd athlon cooling on kt266/266a chipset). Find below the best numbers I've ever seen (I resend them, here): Athlon TB 1.2 GHz on MSI MS-6380 (KT7-Turbo-R): idle mode with full VCool stuff under Win98SE (you could watch the temperature drop in 5 sec (?) steps...;-) ~64°C => 29°-30°C Case was somewhat below after that.
