We talked about temperatures here a year or so ago. Heat is the enemy in many ways, but some felt that processor temps are often quite high and it wasn't a big problem. But there certainly must be a point where it's too hot. 165 degrees seems awfully high. I can't figure why some of you can get the bus speed that high, mine won't startup past 45mhz.. I did have success with the 3:2 ratio with CacheControlX though. It made a huge difference. > As for the tea, I suppose that can earn you some points.

After drying for a day or two, it actually worked fine. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
