I disagree (as an owner of one Athlon) The CPU came with it's own fan etc. Bios settings (voltage etc) where they should be - but still runs hot. In fact so much so that when compiling or make world, freeze happens. It's just a known fact that AMD's runs hot. I don't know if that's by design or not - nonetheless, I love mine (big old box fan and all). -- Best regards, Chris A little ambiguity never hurt anyone.
