Does anybody have experience of Athcool?

Does it work or does it break something?

I've been using it on my OpenSuse 10.3 system for a few weeks now and it works
just fine. Never had a problem using it with any other distro, either. FYI,
I have an Athlon 1800+ cpu with 1 Gig of ram. In 10.3, it dropped the idling
temperature of the cpu somewhere around 15-16 degrees C when I first started
it up.
