AMD T-bird - cooling problems??

[postalguy]

I am building a computer and was just wondering if anyone has had a problem with or has heard of the 800 mhz T-bird chip overheating and frying the motherboard or power supply. I know it is not a slot chip and AMD has had problems with overheating before. Thanks

Im running a 800 T-Bird @1060 and its fine, just use a decent heatsink and put it on correctly and youll be ok. In the case you put the heatsink on wrong and fried the CPU, the MB in most cases would still be perfectly fine.
