That is really true if you have one of those small OEM heatsinks. I have a AMD 2500+ in my rig and I have the ThermalTake Venus 12 with the fans running in temp controlled mode. The highest I have seen mine run in a long time is about 98F. I run folding 24/7 on my systems too. Compiling or running folding will not last long on those small OEM heatsinks. They are just barely enough for everyday use. If you have a OEM heatsink, invest in a better one. The heatsinks are larger and the fans are better too.
