Does it release the IRQ of the controller?

Well, the Celeron spec shows 130 as a maximum, and the chip has a thermal overload at 90. The BP6 ships with the temp alarm at 80C. > For $200, this combo seems like a true best buy. > Only time will tell now how reliable it is in the long-run. But so far I am > impressed. Nice!
