You can disable the cpu throttling and thermal protection features in the bios usually. That's what I do with my overclocked core2 duo desktop machine. The performance gets bad at above 60C and you'll be in danger of damage. I've stress tested this one and haven't broken it yet. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
