All the newer processors run hot and as long as you have the proper cooling on them they should not be a problem.
This is why I suggest the volcano 9 heatsink and fan. Most of the newer systems should also use thermal gel too, it helps cool everything down more.
In my personal experience thou, I have seen at least 5 intel chips roast where I have only seen 2 AMD chips of the same speed do the same. All of them had good heatsinks and fans on them.
I clean out my computer 2 or 3 times a year. I put the vacume on reverse (plugging those hose into the exaust area) and then take it and my system outside and blow off all the dust and dirt that has built up. Works great. I have been running AMDs for the past 6 or 7 years, ever since I got my first 486 DX-2 66 system. I have never had any problems with the chips.
I'm currently running a AMD XP1800 which runs at 1.53 ghz. its working great.
