Yup. I tried this on a whim on a self assembled AMD K6 and it worked. Without that 'fix', compiling the Linux kernel would fail. Compiling the kernel and making GNU Chess play itself at highest levels were my standard stress tests.
This box wasnt completely self assembled in the sense the CPU was already mounted on the motherboard. Redoing the heat sink with thermal paste fixed the problem, mostly.
