My XP 1800 has a volcano 6cu+ hsf on it, plus the case has 2 5" intake fans and an 8" exhaust fan. At full load in FreeBSD the hardware monitor claims the CPU is at 70C, even though the heat sink is barely warm to the touch. On the other hand, if your heatsink is not seated properly it's possible to get those temps fairly easily, and 90C is fatal for your CPU. :-/ Josh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
