Wow! Mine has yet to kick off. In fact, with as much SSLT rendering as I 
have been doing lately, the system has remained quite stable. I guess 
the cooling on my PC is working.

According to the temp sensors on the die core 0 reached the boiling 
point at some time. (!) I'm guessing I was at work, it was warm outside 


I call inaccurate reading. No way it could be that hot and survive. Core 
0 always seems to read rather hot.

CPU (As a whole, measured from the sensor under the socket) reads a max 
of 88 and a min of 33. That seems reasonable. The heat sink must be 
working, though, because the core temps drop from 90-40 within seconds 
after a render has ended.
