I guess it depends just how hot it is running to begin with. I leave mine on all the time, but then again, I don't overclock and Intel CPU's are generally pretty robust to survive a fan failure. (I actually forgot to plug my Celeron fan in for a week without any ill effects). Loss of a fan on a Cyrix can kill it in no time. I know that AMD runs hotter than Intel, but not as hot as Cyrix, so I'm not too sure where it would fit in.

If it ain't broke, you're not pushing hard enough!
