One story about my xp-m 1600+[25w]with CrystalCPUID, I installed an ADDA 8cm 1600 rpm fan over the heatsink, after mess around inside, then I start the computer, about 5 min later, I looked at speedfan temperature, 53 C, it had never been so high, so I shut it off, opened the case, the fan was stopped by the wire, if it was Thunderbird or other XP, it would be good-bye.

“With my current setup there is no audible benefit in running the CPU (nearly) fanless, so I let the CPU fan spin at 5V all the time.”
