My P4C 2.8 had plenty of power to run SC but it did get very hot under load. > I'm currently doing a scan with Speedfan running (it's still on > Directory Scan and all seems well).

Err, yeah, that doesn't sound right! I'm pretty sure you'd know if you were using liquid nitrogen cooling. ;-) The correct reading is usually contained in the data, it's a matter of figuring out which one is right and assigning that to the CPU reading. However it sounds like your original problem has gone away - fingers crossed for you! -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59234 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
