Not sure how much of the cold 060 is just legend.  

But, was the CPU from China?  It's possible that it's an older mask that has been re-marked.  CPU060 and whichamiga will tell you the revision to be sure.

Yeah, I was wondering the same, as I've almost pulled the trigger on one of those "Chinese" 060's for my Tekmagic. It would be interesting to see if whichamiga reports a Rev. 6. I know that mine runs relatively cool at 80Mhz (always under 40C with a small heatsink and small amount of airflow, in a desktop case facing upwards), whereas the Rev. 1 is nearly too hot to touch at 50MHz. I can't easily remove the heatsink from my Rev. 6 or I'd do a quick temp comparison with both revisions at 50MHz.

Possibly he has a 1E41J with an "XC" prefix, "XC" 71E41J would seem to be a fake. :/ Hopefully the former is the case, that would also explain the warm operation, though it should still run cooler than the Rev. 1.

Cool, sounds like you got a real one. There must have been some very early ones (or samples) printed with the "XC" prefix.
