It's a very nice motherboard. ] With the current T-birds, temp. and fan stats are quite important. If the fan dies, the CPU will burn up in less than one hour, even while idle. If the heatsink is mounted improperly, the CPU will burn up in less than one minute. Of course, I set the knobs in my BIOS to shut the system down before the fatal temperature is reached, but it can be reassuring to check on the system from time to time. -- Chris BeHanna Software Engineer (Remove "bogus" before responding.) behanna@bogus.zbzoom.net I was raised by a pack of wild corn dogs.
