Well, I don't smell any smoke yet, sooooo...I guess I'm fine for now. Ask me in a couple of days, haha Seriously though, the temps are high, but the system has never been this stable. I was thinking...I believe the kernel I'm running (Netkas 9.2.0 w/ shutdown fix) has a speedstep function in it. I am wondering what my system would be like if I went back to the version before he implemented the speedstep. My theory is, if idlehalt deals with energy saving and turning it off helps me, maybe using a kernel without speedstep would help me just the same, and perhaps even without the heating up? I don't know if I'm on to anything, but I'll give it a try.

It sounds like I should be asking YOU how you're doing with the Intel...any persuasive words for us?
