My K6 ran well for the most part, but a buildworld would raise the temperature by 20 degrees (C) and then I would either an 11 or a 4. I popped the heat sink/fan and added a THIN layer of heat sink grease (available at most any electronics outlet inc. Radio Shack), replaced it, and buildworld ran fine. CPU temp went up, but never exceeded 48 degrees (C). Try running healthd (available in ports). Use "healthd -d" to continuously print out the temps of things, if you mobo supports it. (My ASUS P5A does.) It was certainly enlightening to see what was happening! R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
