Hi Ben, as being german your expression of "frying reproductive organs" lets me smile.
But to stay in the question of the hot Pismo,... I'd have to take it on my lap the backside near those organ(s). As that's the part which becomes hot. Hot and hot might be a quite subjective interpretation. Can you (all) tell me about your experience, please? I'd define hot: Nearly or really too hot to touch, whereas hot might be felt hot, but not too hot to stay on the plate with pressed finger- tips. Hope, this definition might help to collect experiences. (I have no ideas of any real degrees: harddisk shouldn't become "hotter" than 60 degrees Celsius, as I read this weak on Western Digitals Website about my HDs) I've to mention, that I don't remember (or haven't remarked?) any of my two Pismos (400 + 500 MHz-model) becoming so hot. Do I have to bother my repaired Pismo will die (yet too early)??? When I remarked the very hot condition (of the plate above the CPU, the cooler at the left and the bottom case under the CPU) the Pismo wasn't working hard and the keyboard was removed. So I'm worried. And, as I mentioned, the fan didn't start. Yet I could touch the plates, even for longer. But they were quite hot indeed. And the CPU/Pismo had no load.... What's your opinions / what experiences do you have?
