I'm gonna check in the bios again to be sure there is no way to change the temperature settings. That seems way to high to do any good.

I googled around and I'm pretty sure it default is 95c. They have done tests to see how reliable it is and it does seem to work pretty good. An example of this is when the cpu fan dies...

My house is hard to cool and when I start cooling it down my utility is way up there. So I don't let it run all the time. But I have two XP 2500 with the same ASUS board with different cases. Both usually start out in the hight 30's c and during the heat of the day if left on can go up to 60 or 62c. I gonna pull the sides of them to get more cooler air through. But I'm gonna have to get a good heat sink for both of em.
