Is it possible to use only the standard heatsink for a Duron 700 MHz. I want to switch the fan off.
Using a temperature probe on the heatsink fins I get a reading of no more than about 43 C (110 F) in normal operation.
This website says I can go up to 90 C .

Is it likely I will go as high as this without a standard fan and a standard heatsink?
OK to use Duron 700 MHz with no fan?

If it's doing 43c with a fan then it doesn't sound good.
Sadly the duron chip is a bit of a power hog.
Duron 700 = 34w -> 39w
Pentium 3 700 = 18.3
