I'll try that, but my K6 is cool, almost cold to the touch when it is in operation. I have a very large cpu fan on it (yes it is the right one :)
I will try ripping off the heat transfer pad on the fan and just use heatsink compound, however.
Do we have any good sucess stories with <350 Mhz K6's and FIC VA-503+ MB's? I can't say I've heard one yet with this combo and Linux.

Some of the, 300mhz k6's were 66Mhz only rated, which is stamped on the CPU. All of the higher speed CPU's are 100Mhz.
