I would call it pretty borderline especially if its a K6. On my PC, kernel
compilation breaks at temperatures above 72 ( but now things never go
beyond 55 ).
Get yourself a CPU fan if you dont have it already and you can also use
the paint/paste in between the cpu and the fan. However apply it very
sparingly, the layer has to be as thin as possible. The idea is to kill
the air gap only.
