Yeah, turn on a machine w/o a heatsink :) In a couple of seconds it will get so hot that you can't touch it and the internal safety threshold on the proc will shut it down. I suspect the mobo might have a bios that can control the fan speed and the hysteresis or whatever technique it uses to control reaction time. My Asus has this IIRC... jlc _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
