Does that rule still apply???  Who knows?
It may still be true but if you take into consideration the obselecence due to technology change I think the 2 curves would meet at about 200C

Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] Silent workstation

The AT power supply in my workstation kept getting noisier and noisier so this morning I got fed up and replaced the fan. While I was at it, I hooked it up at 6 volts instead of 12. I figure that my diskless workstation is not

drawing much power so why do I need such a powerful fan? That made it very quiet, so quiet I could hear the CPU fan. Figuring what the hell, I took off

the CPU fan, put on a huge heatsink and underclocked the CPU (a K63+450 now running at 300). I'm not running any local apps. So far the temps look good and I have had no problems with my now completely silent setup.

I'm just wondering if this seems like a risky setup to anybody. I never
leave the machine on unattended and so far it's running very cool. I don't care so

much about my workstation crashing, I'll notice if that happens, I'm more worried about a potential fire or such.

Thoughts?

Stu
