I wasn't able to use Ninja with a 3 Ghz Northwood (cooler than Prescott) in a rather warm environment. While testing full load with Orthos the system reset when reaching voer 70 degrees. I had to clock down the CPU to 2 Ghz and leave the case open - cooling those P4s can be challenging if you got higher room temps like me.

So I'd advise using Mugen, fanless will be hard. I have real doubts about this row of capacitors parallel to the ATX I/O shield near the CPU socket. I'm afraid that Mugen's base heatsink will collide with them!

We'll need someone from the Scythe staff to deny or acknowledge this - you'll have to wait until Monday for a final answer.

Bye Oli
