I know that the CPU gets to arround 50 deg and more, but caps are rated up to some 75, I believe. The heatsink almost touches these caps. I believe I'll leave it as it is for now, I've got loads of work right now and its a real hassle to remove the whole motherboard and put it back in. I am keeping my eye on any leaks once in a while since I often test different cards in my PC. -- Best regards, Marko - PCS Electronics --------------------------------------------------------- Turn your PC into a FM radio station http://www.pcs-electronics.com tel +386 31 318 236 NOTE: It is important that you include the entire contents of this message in your responses.
