A cooling fan isn't such a bad idea if you purchased your system components seperately and assemble the system yourself (since you probably don't have the facility to perform a thermal test). The 237-pin OverDrive(tm) probably has a similar heatsink, but since it is a larger chip I suppose it might need more cooling. -- |Tom Barrett (TDBear), Sr. Engineer|tom.barrett@amd.com|v:512-462-6856 | |AMD PCD MS-520 | 5900 E.
