How true. How true. I just moved mine from the basement, where it was considerably cooler and it ran at a nice steady 30-35 C, to a room upstairs where it's considerably warmer and it runs at a nice steady 45-50 C.
I had an older Athlon XP 1800+ that's always ran on the warm side. It's been in various PCs and in various configurations and it's still kicking.
