I pulled the sdram for 32mb of cheap fpm, and now it runs at 83. It would run indefinitely at 166, but with lots of sig11's. I put another fan in the front of the case, got thermal compound, and it's real happy at 210 (2.5*83). Until I put the case on . . . But this is just the cheap fan that came with it; i'm going to shell out for a good fan/heatsink. And I have another fan for the top of the case' i'm still deciding whether to put it up top in the mounts, or to run a rack to have it blow into the lower half of the tower. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
