Thanks Tom. Actually, Intel processors will shut themselves down in the case of a thermal emergency like this. I've had it happen twice - once on a Celeron 400 and once on a P3-1GHz. I don't think AMD has implemented this yet.
AMD actually requires motherboard manufacturers to put circuitry on their boards that would do this (it's not built into the chip), but only a few boards by ASUS and I *think* Soltek actually do this. http://www6.tomshardware.com/column/20011029/index.html Hans == Download ringtones, logos and picture messages at Ananzi Mobile Fun. http://www.ananzi.co.za/cgi-bin/goto.pl?mobile
