I put a small 486DX2 Fan on my G4 heat sink on an upgraded B&W. The CPU is 500MHz and will not over clock. Without the FAN the Heat sink gets very hot to touch, with the fan it is always cool to touch.
If you O'C or not I strongly recommend installing a CPU fan. This will prolong the life of your Mac. My B&W is whisper quite. The LG 52x cdrom drive I installed after the stock cdrom died is also quite. The external FireWire case with my DVD burner is LOUD!!! The Fan sounds like a WWII mustang aircraft taking off. Ok a little exaggeration. I find iTunes and good speakers is the best solution when dealing with FAN HISS.
