Until recently, I had been running my xp 1800+ around 55-70 C, for about a year. To be honest, I didnt see it as a huge prob. Stability wise, speed wise. But recently, I purchased a vocano 7+ cpu fan.
The temp's cooled down to about 45-55 C (and i o/c'd to a 2200+!)
So my suggestion, go with an aftermarket fan, heat is bad for electronics. So with confidence i can say, running cooler will lead to a longer life.
