Granted that maximum power dissipation never happens in real applications, how about a software crash? If you do not design your system to handle the maximum power, when Windows 9x crashes, there is a possibility you have to get another computer! Also, not too many motherboard manufacturers out there do design their boards to meet the maximum Intel spec. Intel spec is just way too conservative. Intel probably want to cover their ass to a dozen sigma or something. Meanwhile, Time Traveler does not believe AMD and IBM's Power PC (being much lower in volume) are spec as conservatively as Intel's. Are you truly a box-maker? How come you, Ali, don't know all that? Time Traveler Ps. There are better ways to measure temperature than using your finger, Ali. For a few hundred dollars, you can get a hand-held infrared read-gun. The temperature reading is very accurate for this application.
