This sounds like a good suggestion. AFAIK modern CPUs use thermal throttling so even if you would run it hot you wouldn't get full performance out of it anyway. Disassembling the heatsink and applying a good thermal paste might shave of a few degrees, but that involves a bit more work. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se
