It does run hotter... but Uniserver's kind of been-there, done-that, so hopefully he will chime in.  It seems the 25Mhz 040's all have passive heatsinks when installed by Apple (like in the Q700). I guess they are there for a reason.

Fortunately mine's an MC68040RC40A marked 02L88M, which apparently means it's a more recent production with a smaller die:

But I should probably pop a heat sink on there just in case.  I bet I've got something in my basement parts dungeon that would work.

Oh, and is there a way to monitor the temperature?
