Christophe:
I do leave my machine days ON. But I put one big fan which I adapted pointing
directly to the CPU at 5cms inside the case(I cut the fan of an old power supply
and connected to an external 12V.The cable goes form inside the case to outside
the transformmer). Also I put an additional small cpu fan which can be connected
to a hard disk's cable and put it aside the CPU(pinting at it). The original
voltage was 2.4 Volts
at 350 mhz. Now I'm using 2.7 Volts and 400 Mhz.
I'm sure you can succefully overclock that CPU and have an additional
performance.
I'm happy with my overclocked CPU because I got extra 50 mhz.
If I get an K6 III 450 I'll overclock it to 500 Mhz without need of using
freezing equipment as Kryotech.

Regards, Rafael
