I constantly had >68'C [154'F] when under 100% CPU load for more than an hour. I replaced all fans with Noctua but had to add one additional 92mm fan on top of the 120mm and 2 x 60mm behind the CPU heat sink to get everything under control.

PowerBook 3400c, Mac OS 9.1, Internet Explorer 5, Frogfind ...
@xodium I have a perfectly working PB 3400 - so, I am lucky. I tried to find someone who could build a battery for it, but no luck.

Fear no more!
