Re: Athlon vs. Duron CPU

Really? I coulda swore I saw somewhere that the operating range for this
CPU was below 109 F. If I don't have an overheating problem that would be
great because I could turn off one of my fans and quiet things down a
little.

Below 109F? Well maybe when it is first turned on after being off all
night. :)

You don't need to worry about it until it gets close to 140F or higher under
load. Anything under 120F is pretty cool. -Dave
