If you look at the thermal specifications on the fastest K6 and the slowest
Pentium 3 you'll see that the Pentium 3 still puts out more heat. K6-3/450AFX is
20 watts. The Pentium 3 450MHz is 25 watts. Before you claim any CPU is 'blazing
hot' or anything of the sort I highly recommend using a heatsink/fan that is not
absolute garbage OR use that same exact heatsink on the Pentium 3 you had. You'd
see the P3 would have been even hotter.
