OK, this isn't good. Admittedly my computer can use an upgrade, and that said some components are older then others. The fan/sink (OCZ Gladiator) I had gotten with a Tbird 1 GHz (but still worked fine on an AXP 1900+, keeping it down to 44 C, with ambient case temp of 28 C here...
All has been well, until tonight. It (or some other fan, though I suspect it, as the CPU is what heated up the most) started making weird noises (such as when a fan is having trouble spinning/slows down for a moment/is trying to fight it...
Windows XP crashed, and upon resetting it, went into BIOS. Checked the temps, and the case was up to 31 C with the CPU up to 61 C and still climbing (up to 62.5 C). It then began to fall again, and rapidly approached 50 C and still dropping, when I left the BIOS monitoring and rebooted to Windows.
I'm reluctant to do something that requires a reboot due to this problem below

It took me a long time to get it back up and running.
That said, a replacement fan/sink might become an issue, though if it does not sure what would be good for a socket A right now. The fan/sink I got has of course been discontinued, and the over-clockerz store is no more as far as I remember... Many peeps have also upgraded (hence more demand for newer coolers) as I would too if I wasn't strapped for cash (except for some which came in) as of late...
