Do you use anything besides a fan to keep your processors cool? I've no
experience with athlons on UP machines, but amd76x_pm does a good job on
MPs. I'm not joking: lmsensors sometimes reports 38C on low load.

Seems like athlon 2000+ MPs are more robust. Playing cube rises
temperature to 78C without any problems.
