a nice, hot, 35�C day here in melbourne today - with just a little problem. Powerlogix's G3/G4 Cache control is telling me that the processor is running at 59�C (138�F). Now this doesn't seem quite right - it did suffer from some performance issues in the heat of the day (sluggish machine stuff) so I put in a fan. At first, I made it blow air onto the chip, which put the temp. up (it was being reported around 38�C before I started poking around), so i turned it around to make it suck air away from the chip. Hotter still. Now here's the funny part - although the temp is being reported at 59�C, the heatsink is cool enough to touch (and hold) quite comfortably. Do the thermometers in these things screw up occasionally or something? I'm somewhat concerned about baking my G3, but it's been my experience that when a chip starts running seriously hot, it starts sloooowing dooown significantly.
Any ideas? Cheers, Evan
