I blew the dust out and some knot head left a rubber band in it and it got caught up in my fan. We all know what happened about 10 minutes later. Thing did run a while with 0 cooling tho. I run folding with three hard drives spinning so it had a good load on it. I did like the power supply tho. It had a 120mm fan and was real quiet. I couldn't hear it over the other noise in the case. I do have several other fans running tho, including the CPU which runs pretty good too. This may help some. Lots of links too. http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=458204 We feel your pain. :-( Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
