Which is why I see 65C as the get-worried temp on my box...even with a 20C difference, it's 85C...*should* be enough to survive :) > to me it's reflexive it to calculate the error of margin in.

I absolutely agree..which is why back then I got the volcano 6...and do bug my HW friend about making sure to keep the temp in reign. The other thing is...I never keep a CPU/mboard combo for more than 6-8 months...I get rid of the things as fast as I can...mostly because I *know* I have heavy hands for HW and it's better for me to get rid of it when its still under warranty :) Vox -- Think of the Linux community as a niche economy isolated by its beliefs.
