I have a Celeron 300a that I overclock to 464 MHz (100 MHz FSB + extra turbo frequency boost) running at 2.1 v and it runs at about 30 degrees celcius when idle and at 52 degrees when running setiathome (was 50 degrees in winter). A friend of mine running an ISP on FreeBSD has alarms set at 53 degrees (and they haven't gone off unless there has been a problem to date). A friend of above friend (in Sydney) has all his machines running quite reliably at 96 degrees (yes celcius). His alarms dont go off until 104! I dont think he has any airconditioning in his machine room. I cant speak for what the other peoples hardware is but it appears that the Intel CPUs can take quite a beating.... I wouldn't be worried until you hit at least 65 degrees. On Wed, 22 Dec 1999, Thierry Herbelot wrote: > "Dave J.
