Dont take it personally...it just seems funny that anyone who is worried about minor cooling issues would run a processor at such a dangerous temperature. Its not a big win financially, and seems like its not worth the risk. The irony is that people who are spending thousands of extra dollars because they 're worried about a hard drive failure might just be likely to pay the extra few dollars for a Pentium with proper cooling db
