OK, I know this isn't much more than to be expected with a gorb, but I still had to see it to believe it ;)

Temperatures after cracking RC5 at least 1 hour (100% CPU util):

300Mhz before gorb: 116*F
300Mhz with gorb: 93*F

450Mhz unstable before gorb
450Mhz (2.1v) with gorb: 104*F

I didn't expect it to perform quite that well over my cheap heatsink/fan (just a Celery 300a). I wasn't able to run stably at 450 before, but now at 450Mhz (2.10v) it's running quite nicely at 104*F :)

BTW, I know an Alpha would prob be even better, but Abit BE6-2 is a pretty close fit as it is for the gorb ;)

well those temps are due to 3 facts:

1) you're running a pentium chip that stays cooler than athlon chips
2) its only 300mhz, meaning voltage isnt all that high
3) its a celeron
