Yeah, I know, but the air flow is not exactly great around the adapter
cards, in my case. I think lid off will be cooler.

All the RAM chips are "100MHz - 25ns". That's standard isn't it?
The board is Rev B.

It's well away from the CPU and HDDs. The HDD's have their own cooling fan,
so they don't get too hot.

I have a V2 Stealth cooler on the way from www.tennmax.com.  After
more experimentation, I've found it works perfectly at 90MHz, but
not 92MHz. I think the card I have is a little heat sensitive? Or
do you think I'm being a bit picky?
