Interesting. I never had a burnout problem with my Newer 240/1MB other than
a (thermal?) shutdown one time when I first got it. I always ran my 2400 on
top of a Coolpad. If it felt too warm, I switched down the backside cache
for a bit. I loved the speed boost though.
Sorry to hear that you guys are getting "toasted"

Turn down the backside cache and make sure that the bottom of the computer
is properly ventilated.
