Right now, as Im idiling in windows Im getting an idle of 32c from motherboard moniter. This is on an Iwill KK266-R running a Duron 850, with Taisol CGK760 and ASII. That seems really low from what others say their temps are. Hell, its lower than a Duron 600 at my dads office with stock heatsink and cooling tweaks applied! Oh yea, case is open.

And I have to say, installing that Taisol was scary. Had to use alot of preasure to put it on, and the final little whole thingy wouldnt slide over the last socket peg, and when it did it made a loud crack. I thought I was done, but was like, Im not taking it off so just booted into windows fine :) I think I know why it cracked though, half that peg chipped...hehe
