What the hell are you going on about? One of the soak tests I used to do on PCs that I shipped out to people was running them at full CPU utilisation for 24 hours. If your machine gets too hot because it is doing something CPU intensive... then your machine is faulty. I don't know whether Linux is being too picky about the temperature and Windows isn't... but you are simply talking out of your arse here. Saying that software which fully utilises the CPU has a DEFECT is witless drivelling of the worst kind. > And that should not be ignored. > > My point wasn't that his or any CPU *should* be overheated by bad > software.

Now if you want to discuss why you are seeing the warning on Linux and not on Windows, I suggest you start being more sensible.
