It stays on 7-24. No problems thus far. I think the above reply indicates the basic falseness in the aleegations of Cx86 overheating. I too have a 6x86 120 but mounted on an ExpertBoard 8551 PCI Motherboard with Triton chipset. I've had it for 3 months and it is normally left on 7x24. In that time I have experienced absolutely no problems with the CPU or indeed any other part of the computer. One must assume from this thread that the 6x86 runs hotter than an equivilent Intel CPU. However "hotter" is not the same as "overheats" and hence it is true to say that the 6x86 will NOT overheat if installed in a board/chasis/case designed to run it! John K
