Well, Tom was kind enough to point out to me that (this is my basic
understanding - he'll correct me if I'm wrong) the reported CPU temp from
lm-sensors/Gkrellm is actually 10-20c *less* than what it actually is. So,
when I would run cpuburn, with Gkrellm open so I could watch the temp, it
would go to about 55c before locking up/rebooting. If you add 10-20c to that,
you can easily see that my CPU temp might actually have been 75c which,
needless to say, is a tad bit hot. So I added the case/fan/cpu mod that I'll
send to you offlist shortly, and now it stays about 37-39c, and the big diff
is that with cpuburn running for +30mins, it only goes to about 40-41c.
The final argument is that the lockups/reboots went away. <grin>
