for good reason! i got 12 fans in my box and a MASSIVE cpu fan(i think it pulls 25cfm or something) and my p3-800 still runs at 50C(AFAIK when its idle, as i can't query the cpu from linux yet lm_sensors doesn't support the chip..so 50C is from the bios) i have a system at work with only about 4 fans, and the cpu reads at 50C too (P3-733). .. (again reading it from the bios, its the same asus mb as what i have at home - CUV4X) i fear the thought of slowing my cpu fan down..probably cause a burnout. my k6-3 400 with 8 fans runs at a nice 15C. oh how i miss good 'ol amd socket 7 chips.. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
