Continuing this mostly for my own sake & analysis and archving it to .mht file here for future reference:
EXPERIMENT on cooling "cool-down" time on these after 2 rounds of Quake III Arena @ 640x480 with ALL OpenGL settings maxed maps Q3DM11 & Q3DM12 -
(CPU's overclocked only SLIGHTLY on this test at 1110mhz & GeForce4 Ti4600 set 320/670, both o/c'd)
===============================================
A.) Initial Temperatures on CPU #1 & CPU #2:
CPU #1 - 84 degrees F
CPU #2 - 84 degrees F
===============================================
B.) Temperatures on CPU #1 & CPU #2 (After gaming 30 minutes):
CPU #1 - 107 degrees F
CPU #2 - 107 degrees F
===============================================
C.) COOLING RATES OBSERVED OVER PERIOD TO RETURN TO INITIAL TEMP:
1 minute after gaming & idling (40 background processes running):
CPU #1 - 105 degrees F
CPU #2 - 105 degrees F
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 minutes after gaming & idling (40 background processes running):
CPU #1 - 98 degrees F
CPU #2 - 95 degrees F
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 minutes after gaming & idling (40 background processes running):
CPU #1 - 93 degrees F
CPU #2 - 91 degrees F
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 minutes after gaming & idling (40 background processes running):
CPU #1 - 93 degrees F
CPU #2 - 89 degrees F
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 minutes after gaming & idling (40 background processes running):
CPU #1 - 89 degrees F
CPU #2 - 87 degrees F
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 minutes after gaming & idling (40 background processes running):
CPU #1 - 88 degrees F
CPU #2 - 86 degrees F
===============================================
* Overall time taken to cool down near to initial idling temperature after approximately 30 minutes of Quake III Arena locally, not online = 6 minutes.

P.S.=> External room temperature @ 77 degrees F... Online gaming temperatures were approximately same, same system settings & gaming settings also! Temperatures monitored by MotherBoard Monitor 5 program...
