How hot should a AMD T-Bird 1400 mhz run? like what temp is max. and what temp should your motherboard be?

Man, honestly I would go out and buy a 3rd party fan for your AMD chip and quite possibly another case fan as well. I know that AMD chips run rather HOT. My buddy has had problems with his past 2 AMD chips and he ended up having to get new fans just to keep it cool enough to run properly. (Just a suggestion fo you too) But then again I like to run extra case fans on ALL of my machines even though I run Intels.

They run hot because they draw more voltage, that's how a 1.4ghz chip can outrun a 1.7ghz PIII well, that and the RISC to CISC instruction set interpreter.
