Seriously. > Well, I think I can put this novel of my system upgrade to rest. My last bit of "configuring" was to add a PCI slot fan next to my raid controller card. The fans on this PCI fan card blow air right on top of the heat sink. The temp on the LSI chip has dropped from 76 (which has been claimed to be OK on this posting) down to 51 deg Celsius. So if 76 was ok, 51 is like ice cold. I was thinking about how I re-configured my desktop, by adding this 8 channel raid controller card. All my IO, well, maybe 99.9999% (excluding io to USB devices like thumb drives or when I burn a DVD) goes through that LSI chip. I've basically put all my IO eggs in one small 40mmx40mm processor chip. So maybe going the extra mile (or several with my trip to microcenter to buy the PCI fan card) may have been worth it, at least calm down my own paranoid nerves. Cheers.
