Re: solutions for "udb heat death"

[Tom Mulder <tom a1 nl>]

I read about these problems and i must say, i do not have those problems you
all have with overheating multia's,
The solution for a better airflow is putting the multia upright in its stand,
another thing it if you look at the inside of the multia by the cooler you
find a simple dark red temerature-resistance, if you cut of the risistance the
cooler will run better and faster without damige to the cooler.
The resistance if only for noise reduction so that if the cpu isn't warm it
won't make much noise.
