I'm trying to do a little research on the 68000 series of CPUs and I'm trying to figure out which run hot, warm, or cold.  If I remember correctly, the 68030 and 68040 run pretty hot while the 000, 010, 020, and 060 run quite cool (meaning they don't require a fan).  Can anyone help me out here?

When the 040 runs at ~ 25 MHz (like on the commodore boards) it doestn't need a fan, in fact it's quite cool with just the standard thin heatsink.

@Plaz

You say your 060 is running at 80mhz?? 66 is the
max i think.
It's called "overclocking" ;-)
