the last machine of mine in which i bothered to check CPU temps was a UMAX S900 with a met@box G4/400 upgrade. compared to today's machines the heatsink was small with a small fan attached. it consistently ran at 87˚-91˚C, so i'd say that 70˚C is running VERY cool. i have a QS dual 1gig, and that heatsink is very hot to the touch, my guess is well above 70˚C.
