I'm not over clocking my CPUs (Celeron 366s) and have appropriate cooling installed. But the machine is kept in a small room, with a bunch of other machines and gets a bit warm at times. There has been no reproducible case of locking up. Each one looks different. But most were trigerred by heavy compilation and I/O. One was a lockup overnight with no activity on the system. When it happens, it does not respond to pings or scroll lock. If you'd like to do something about it, working on getting a reproducible hang would be the most beneficial one. -Arun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
