AMD Thunderbird is durable

[Gloryfieldzi]

I been using it for over 2 years now, AMD Thunderbird 1.333 Ghz

soon im getting a XP 2700

but yea it's durable, my 1.333 has been running at 84 degrees CELCIUS (while gaming) for 2 years and it's still really good, but too bad it's too slow for games like half life 2. I used default fan with it.

The one I have started out at least four years ago here, I think, with a Riva TNT2 32 MB video card. I don't believe it ever touched 60 before it inherited a 3 year old Ti 4200 that raised the entire system's heat status into the low 60's. Swapping an 80 mm fan onto the (stock, I believe) heat sink, after blowing the accumulated dust from that unit's fins, was all it required to drop back to the high 40's, low 50's range.
