I'm running Linux, but your last point is interesting - that a single core could be overheating even if the CPU is doing fine overall. I'll have to have a look for something that will give me temp readings per core. /Per Jessen, Zürich _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
