For all intents and purposes, yes. It's ina full tower case, so the silly
little fand that cames with ti slides down about 1/5 the chip before catching
on the socket.
With just that fan (which is close to "without"), it ran fine at 2.5x66=166,
including compiling the kernel. And it would run at 2x83 without a problem.
Adding heat sink compound and a fan in the lower case, along with a cassette
case to prop the fan to cover the whole chip, and it's happy at 2.5x83 = 210.
However, if i close the case, it sig11's a while into kernel compiles (and
when I remove that side of the case, i can feel the extra heat.)
I have another fan waiting to install in the upper case, though i'm toying
with mouting it between the upper & lower, or using cardboard to force the
airpat teo the bottom. (or a 3d fan when i get a chance to pick one up, to do
both). IO'm also toyin with reversing the flow on the lower fan to blow out
instead of in, as the heat buildup is noticable.
And I'm planning on getting a hard-core fan for the cpu, but before i figured
that out, one morning ULN was offering the 166 for $99, and i snapped it up
before they changed their mind (the next day, i think).

Gee, I haven't picked one of those yet :) I'm thinking of the 7.0 or 8.4 maxtor. Currently, it's running with 4 wold western digital drives from the attempt to make a linux server (the hardware guy who was supporting this has left :( ). 410 mb on /, 500 on /usr, 200b on /usr/src, and another 200 waiting . . .
