Heh. Part of your problem may be that you are mostly talking about X86 chips. Yet another opportunity to point out how superior Macs are. ;) For instance, Apple has released a number of machines in the last couple of years without fans. Including laptops. Now, where can I find a utility to check my CPU temp.. Hmm. I do remember that I had an overclocked G3 back in the day, and it got up to 104 once...

And?
Just letting you know why they run hotter more transistors packed tightly together make more heat. Didnt want to turn this into a pc vs mac thread just giving you the reason why newer chips run so hot.
