I understand what you are saying KW, but I guess I'm trying to determine the best bang for the buck heatsink... I don't have a super 7 rig set-up yet, so I'm trying to do a little research in advance.

I don't know what K6 (II+, III+, Cyrix, etc...) are like temp wise running full on. I do know they take a reasonable about of voltage stock, so looking at the voltage and the heat output of say an Athlon XP that I am familiar with and kind of go from there....hence why I'm asking the question KW.

that's still not telling me load temps with whatever heatsink KW. I see the max case temp and it looks like they can run fairly warm.

You should concern yourself with the Maximum Power Dissipation information.

Thanks.

Well for example, a K62-500 @ 2.2v using a stock heatsink fan could easily exceed 50c in a poorly ventilated case (or in summer) at 100% loading, using the 'overkill methodology' which essentially was a lapped PIII heatsink & upgraded 80mm fan combined with a naked K6@-500,effectively shaved greater than 10c of max loaded temperature (during summer) :D

I guess one man's overkill... is another's redundancy plan :twisted:

Taz would you recommend running lidless?

Thanks for the heatsink info too :D
