Curiously the two temps (socket and case) had each dropped by a degree (to 43 and 28 respectively) by 8AM.

Perhaps the lower fan speed was more effective at getting the air out of the case. Or your room temp is lower at that time of day. Or Folding is less CPU intensive than Divx encoding. Or perhaps the thermal paste has now been "burned in".

Prime95 is the "industry" recognised CPU stressing util. It supposedly gets CPUs hotter than anything else.

dhau, you can use a dos emulator (like dosbox) instead of having a PC just for that.

Except dosbox isn't perfect yet, especially for some later DOS games. Also, it requires a good amount of power for some protected-mode games. Remember, it emulates an entire x86 machine with SB sound and multiple old school video modes. They do have some good frontends for it though, that make it a heck of a lot easier to work with multiple games that may require different settings to run well. Helps some ancient games run at a playable (meaning not 1000x) speed.
