Anyway, Temp readings in the WS are also dependent on the CPU daughter card. So if the CPU supports internal temp reading, then it will be accessible for many apps like TM. For example the BlueChip CPU cards from Powerlogix give believable readings. So what ever the sensors in the original CPU cards of the WS's are, those are different somehow from other cards. maybe someone else can tell what the differences are? Regarding the heat problems, I'm surprised no-one mentioned cooling paste. When I had heat problems with a BlueChip G3 card in the WS II, applying the correct amount of cooling paste and adding a custom made *copper* plate on top of the CPU (I measured the exact thickness) and under the heatsink, decreased the temperature from excessive temps around 90�C to only 59�C. At 93�C somewhere, the machine froze, so it made all the difference. Unfortunately I then also learnt that none of the BlueChip CPUs could be re-flashed for another model of WS (Basically WS vs WS II/PDQ) so graphics was black. I'm sure you can do something also in your situation for improving heat dissipation. Please note that my fan did run and it didn't help half as good for dissipation than a copper plate and cooling paste. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
