Indeed! >Some 8600/9600s have power supply problems which can result in processor >overheating. I'm curious to know how that can happen -- unless the power to a fan is inadequate. I'd want to make sure all the fans are working well. I don't know the 9600 case, but if the 9600 can be run with the case open I'd try that and see how the fans are doing. I'd also want to see if that lowers the processor temperature. If it does substantially lower it, I'd say you have an airflow problem -- a bad fan or some kind of obstruction, perhaps. >I have a particular 9600/200 which had this flaw.
