Hmmm. I always spring for the super cooling fan on my (AMD) cpus. I have a huge double fan cooler with heat compound. My power supply is a bit tepid, a 250 Watt job that I will replace with my next paycheck, but the fan is fine. I also have an extra case fan installed. I cannot recall what cooling system resides on my chipset...I believe it is a large(ish) heatsink instead of a fan. I don't have lmsensors. It would seem odd, however, that this heat effect is only apparent in 9.0 with 2.4.19 or 2.4.21 kernels. There were no problems of this sort in 8.2 with the 2.4.18 kernel. There is also a difference in the nature of the problems wrt usb between 2.4.19 and 2.4.21 such that it makes me suspect a change in the kernel code rather than a problem with hardware, per se. praedor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+WpoSwDUPEkSvRHERAh8XAJ4i1++cen3bd9QaG7SThcrRXVaflgCeILo9 RuMPgsxHkrOj41LD5l8B/Fk= =bJkn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
