I received a lot of e-mail (thanks!) saying that the temperature reading on
the BP6 is artifically high and to measure the actual temperatures with a
seperate thermistor. Although it is a round-about way, I might take the
thermistor I have on my BE6 on the CPU heatsink and measure the BP6 with it.
Odd way of doing it but they are sitting next to each other anyway.
As for cooling, I've got a hard drive cooler blowing in the front, case fan in
the front, slot fan under the SLI, a fan blowing out of the power supply and
a fan sucking up from the CPU into the power supply.

True. The danger zone starts appearing around 60C or so.

I'm going to do this just for safety sake. Apparently the thermistor for
the MB temp is between the AGP card and the first PCI slot. If I wanted to
stick my slot fan under the G200, I'd have to lose the TV tuner and maybe
even one of the V2's.
Thanks for info.

Offtopic but did you have much trouble setting up that with the cable modem?
