Well - the system remains unstable and automatically reboots after a while, maybe 10-15mins, of running 4 x mprime. I've already got an RMA# so I think this board is going back after all.
Can you still get peltier devices, they used to use them with early P1s and 486s. Their main use nowadays is in 12v cool boxes.
Yeah, I remember those. Interesting idea, but I think they're impractical with high power dissipation (the AMD Phenom needs to get rid of about 100W).

It seems the cpus are outpacing heatsinks 60c is a very unstable temperature, think about it, you almost have 4 cpus in one chip carrier, except for the interface with the outside world. All this in a package smaller than a P4. The heatsink supplied is most probably made for a single or dual core anyway. Heat is the enemy of electronic reliability.
