It worries me a little as like I said >the "slab' is getting hot and even the OEM Apple >200MHZ 604e's came with a large heatsink. >Mike Some of them come with a small round fined heat sink. If you run the machine in OS 9.x what kind of temps are showing up in either the Powerlogix software or Gauge pro software? I don't know if there is yet software that shows temps in OSX. The fact it is getting hot is normal and shows it is doing it's job of sucking the heat off the cpu. Any temp under say 45 C is great and some people say under 60 C is fine but I like to see under 45 C. A fan can be added if it's running too hot.
