Specifically, some values for the fans or other sensors were very large numbers. I quickly updated, so unfortunately I did not document my findings...I stupidly assumed it was known :) Temperature was OK though, I'm quite sure the cooling system on mine is functioning properly though. One known issue with these is (depending on the pumps involved) one or more heatblocks clogged, or too little fluid to run the entire system (so one CPU is 100C +, the other is at 50C). Often this can be identified by gurgling or pump sounds during startup. Do run ASD just to rule out some other issue. It is no longer a problem in CURRENT, so it's fixed now, whatever it was. Matt
