Hi Everyone,
This is a very interesting reply

Wow, 80c, that is hot. That has got to be on the upper level and very close to
failure temp for any CPU. But you say it has run quite happily for a long
while.
When I did my failure test, the computer began to stall at 80 - 85c, before
failure at 95c. Interestingly, the CPU failed before windows had a chance to,
in that test!!!

We wait for your report on that experiment, Wayne, do let us know the result.

According to my info no CPU is designed for that constant temp. As I said
above, got to be close to failure, but happy days till then.
Thanks for that reply Wayne.
Cheers
