I can second that.
You know that this thread was running for some time ([patch] amd athlon
cooling on kt266/266a chipset).

Find below the best numbers I've ever seen (I resend them, here):

Athlon TB 1.2 GHz on MSI MS-6380 (KT7-Turbo-R):

idle mode with full VCool stuff under Win98SE
(you could watch the temperature drop in 5 sec (?) steps...;-)

~64°C => 29°-30°C

Case was somewhat below after that.
