Where Linux Beats Vista : CPU Temperatures - ACPI Thermal Zones

[Robert Moir]

Which makes it unlikely to be down to heatsink placement...

I'd suspect drivers might be an issue. My test desktop machine runs
hotter under Vista than it does under XP (and Vista didn't support
the "uGuru" enviromental monitoring at the time) and my MacBook runs
far hotter and louder under Vista than it does under OS X when dual
booting with boot camp.

sorry to reply to myself but -- just read the rest of the thread and it was
a hardware issue after all. well I live and learn!

Thank You for your understanding.

FYI - please don't post in HTML in newsgroups, it looks awful to all
users in plain text (vast majority use plain text and some non-windows
newsreaders are plain text only), and it screws up the format for
replies, as you will see in the quotes below. I also had to manually
add the quote marks at the beginning of your comments.

There's a setting in Mail to configure email and news separately.
Click Tools, Options, Send tab, and under the News Sending Format make
sure the Plain Text button is ticked.

Email can be set either way since most email programs handle HTML or
plain text.

p.s. Half my problem I found when I applied the thermal compound
(arctic silver) : Apparently when I >put the Heat Sink on, I left the
plastic packaging on the bottom of the heat sink ;-).

ACK! Well that would certainly explain things. Always remove the
plastic wrapper from gum, chocolate, CDs, pens, staplers, and
heatsinks.



Glad to see you have it resolved and working better.

It was set to Plain Text.. However, I replied to someone who posted as HTML
and I guess Windows Mail replies in the original format (perhaps a bug in
Windows Mail?)

FYI, you can set Windows Mail to always read mail in plain text.
This also applies to newsgroup messages. The HTML will be included
as an attachment which you can then open and read the HTML message
if you so please. It's also safer to read mail this way.
