45C is not bad if thats what you hit at maximum load, like running 2
dnetc's and compiling while playing an mp3 and burning a cd and having
a couple eterms open and a couple netscapes while chatting on x-chat and
downloading mp3's with gnapster
(under these conditions i hit 42C)
But if you run 45C idle, you have problems
When i run idle, my cpu temp drops down to 27.5C
When i tried to compile emacs at the same time, i think things started to
get awry, my hard disk timed out and reinitialized, i think something
happens to my 2940 when temp gets too high
o well, doesn't happen much
