Mmmm...depends on several factors...one is the ambient temp...which is hot like hell here in Monterrey, specially in places without AC, like my house...the real strange thing is that CPU load during summer doesn't vary the CPU temp more than a couple of C degrees...yesterday, with about 6% of CPU in use (X, Enlightenment, 2 emacs, xchat, gaim, licq, a few Eterms...normal stuff) it was at 55C...today, with 95% of CPU in use for the last 8 or 9 hours, the temp is 57C...this box has behaved like that since january when I got it :) > The stock fan that comes with the Athlon is not the best deal in the > world.

I use a Volcano 6, IIRC (I didn't build this thing, a friend did...I don't open computers...HW sucks :) And I think it's doing a very good job, considering the fact that the room I'm in is at 42C at the moment :) > To see what is happening, download Prime95 (mprime2212.tar.gz) from > > http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm I'll check that out, thanks for the suggestion...as I said, HW is not my stuff...one of my other geek friends deals with my HW, I deal with his SW :) Thanks for the bunch of tips...I'll do the SW side checks and I'll pass the HW stuff to my friend...thanks bunches :) Vox -- Think of the Linux community as a niche economy isolated by its beliefs.
