Re: heat issues?

[Glenn Schunemann]

Catherine, good info! It is ironic about the thermal paste. The 
directions specifically say *not* to use any paste. Come to think of 
it, my Mac did the same thing yours did with the video thing. I also 
got an icon on my screen of a cracked system folder. I know what that 
means, but it didn't apply this time (it had something to do with the 
Hitachi deskstar drive running on the internal IDE bus). I was worried 
that the processor upgrade contributed to some of this. I'm going to 
try the fan kit. Maybe the thermal paste too...

Powerlogix says continuing to run an overheating processor can void

*exactly*  as directed???  They suggested getting some thermal 
compound and putting a bit on, but I think the heat's being 
transferred to the sink reasonably effectively since it's so hot...if 
it's necessary, they should tell you it's necessary and/or include it 
with the thing!
Thanks,

Glenn
