PIII 700 Too Cold!

Here at work they gave me a dell Dimension as my workstation, it has a PIII 700 in it, but when i leave it on over the weekend, crunching blocks full time for RC5, it is still cold to the touch when i come in monday morning, no matter what applications, or how many i run, it is always a frigid chip. My PIII 450 at home gets cookin after a few hours, whats the deal?

Since im the only person who ever uses the machine, and ive heard nothing but good overclocks for the PIII 700, should i go ahead and knock it up a notch?
 
Dell's can't be overclocked, the motherboards they use don't allow FSB changes. Also that 700 will run cooler than your 450, becuase of the smaller coppermine process.
 
funny, Dell put 2 case fans in with the cool 700, but Gateway only had a power supply fan with my hot 450, i had to add a slot fan and a drive bay fan myself

At work, i have no choice, i work on what they give me

at home, that gateway is over a year old, and a year ago, i was strictly a programmer, never messed with hardware until the past few months, my next 'puter will be all me
