Thanks Kyle. I've used GaugePro & my DT 300 seems to run at 30 deg C all closed up & as high as 40-42 C when it's wide open. I wouldn't expect it to run as hot bumped to 333 as it does when it's open with nothing but convection for cooling. Bob -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
