That is hot! But did that processor ever throttle back to save itself? That's what's got me puzzled. I know powerbooks will deliberately run at high/low processor speeds to preserve the battery. I wasn't expecting the same behavior on a desktop machine, and then it took a shutdown and cool-off period before it would reset itself. Strange.
