Hi Rudolf, > Cool thanks. Please note that the temperature might be more non-physical. So in > your case you have still 55C to overheat.

Even if your temperature is not a real one, you have still 55C to > critical level. I know... I did a kind of "test" of this. Running burnP6 with overclock to 3 GHz and the stock cooler triggered auto shutdown of the CPU in less than 30 seconds. Now I have a Pentium D820 boxed cooler and the core goes up to 69 which is still 31 below the critical level. Regarding the patch - I guess you can add 0x17 soon. This is the new Penryn core Intel will bring to market in november. Question is only if there is somebody to test.
