Re: Alpha Tempurature
I have an EV56 500 and it is very hot too...even with a powerful fan. The
heatsink is simply too small I think.
My desktop machine is an AthlonXP 2400+ and still runs wel lat 70°...

I haven't heard of temperature monitoring for alphas, but I was once
told that they switch themselves off, if the CPU fan fails. I guess, the
safest way is to have a powerful fan attached and to take care that the
case is appropriate in size, i.e. not too crowded with devices.

As far as I've heard, todays Intels and alike are usually hotter than
40C.
Best wishes,
