I own two Athlons, one being a Barton 2800 and the other TBird-B 2200. Both perform quite excellently in terms of power but they have temp problems, though I already activated every feature mentioned in AMD manuals to have the temp lowered they still run abit hot, so I decided to replace both thermal disipation solutions for the Thermalrigth 109-b cooler. It's quite big but it performs excellently this dropped both procs tem by 10 degrees!!! On the OCing i got something a bit different from you guys, when I OClocked my Barton I was able to push the FSB as far as 185 MHZ resulting in a huge performance leap. With the TBird I was not able to take it much higher than 175MHz. Both configs were perfectly stable at 47 degrees celcius. What I think failed in your tests was the EXTREMELLY HIGH TEMP. MY records w/o ocing i get 36 at max tem on the barton and 34 for the Tbird. Room tem:21 dcelcius. Hope this info helps you review the artile which by the way has very interesting info.
