yeah i had a couple of those Pentium D machines around 2006 i think that really put out the heat. one of them the fan failed and got so hot it self destructed and near burned down the place. left my room smelling like toxic factory smoke for a week..

had one of those same k6-2's back when they came out.. that was a reliable machine.. ran os/2 on it for a long time. finally sold the mobo/cpu this year for a pretty penny since it's retro now to run windows 98 -_-
