Just wondering. The VIA hardware monitor utility that came with my KK266 reports a usualy idle temperature of about 42*C on my 266FSB 1.2Ghz Athlon (not overclocking or anything). Others are reporting much lower numbers from what I can tell so I'm just wondering if this is cosher. I'm using a Taisol 760 with Arctic Silver 2 by the way. This was the first time I've installed a HSF so I just wanted to make sure my temps were in the normal range. Thanks.
 
depends on your ambient temperature of course, what season it is, I'm in Perth Australia, with a FOP32 HSF in winter(15-25C), in a HQ08 Aopen case with two ducting fans at the back, I get between 26C and 30C idle. At about 30C my chip under load goes upto around 55C. I believe the chip works upto around 65C, and melts at 95C.
