Paul, Why are ATHwiper HeatSInk-Fan combinations so much bigger than those for Intel's Pentium 4? I found the answer to this and some other P4 questions at: ftp://download.intel.com/design/pentium4/datashts/24919802.pdf The Thermal Monitor feature (refer to Section 7.3) is intended to protect the processor from overheating when running high power code ..... When TCC is enabled, and a high temperature situation exists (i.e. TCC is active), the clocks will be modulated by alternately turning the clocks off and on at a a 50% duty cycle. This explains how they keep power consumption, temperature, and most importantly- performance down on P4. They have a double speed ALU, which runs at half speed to keep from overheating. This processor is even dumber than I thought it was. Scumbria
