56*C, that's it? Can't you do better than that? Didn't you see that thread where I had a 1700+ up to >90*C? ;D

Yeah, but there are a few differences. 56C is with my CPU at stock speeds, and it actually has a heatsink attached. ;D

The 1700 was at stock speeds and voltages... and it had a heatsink. It just didn't have a fan. :D

;D You're crazy, man! Athlons don't have thermal protection do they? Can they melt themselves, or will they shut down?

The A64/FX/Opteron does. The Athlon does not have integrated thermal protection, no. The board takes care of it. I disabled it for that test.

Besides, it's a Palomino 1700. It overclocks like crap (<2GHz tops), and it's of no interest to me what-so-ever at anything less than 2GHz. So, I wouldn't have been terribly distraught if it had died.
