Dunno for sure, but seems on the high end to me. 70C at the heat-sink means significantly higher @ the core. And considering that consumer-grade silicon is usually not specified beyond around 100C, you might run somewhere at the limit. Try keeping it cooler (don't run a 3D screensaver but do a simple "blank screen" or install a fan) and see for yourself... -- HaJo Schatz <hajo@xxxxxxxx> http://www.HaJo.Net PGP-Key: http://www.hajo.net/hajonet/keys/pgpkey_hajo.txt
