AMD-K6-2/400 runs cold?

Hi,

I have just set up an AMD K6-2/400, and the board is jumpered for 400MHz,
and the BIOS claims it is 400MHz as well.

I touched the great big ball-bearing fan/heat-sink unit that I added, and,
to my surprise, it was cold. You could almost chill a beer on it.

The CPU core voltage is 2.2 V, but, even so, I would have expected the HS
to heat up. It concerns me.

It has been running for about 6 hours continuously without any problems
now, and is currently compiling a 2.2.x kernel. It claims 799 bogo-MIPS.

Has anyone else had any experience with such a beast. Do they really run cool?


Regards
