just bc a pc will run at 91*C (and yours won't) doesn't mean it's safe/okay. That's bloody hot

There was one time when my heatsink fan didn't run - either it was unplugged or burned out i forget, but I kept getting reboots. frequent reboots = too hot

but you fixed it yay. ps since i can't make my own thread i'll just derail this one a bit:

I bought a new video card but it requires an 8 pin pci-e connector. my power supply does not have one but it does have a 6 pin, and the video card thankfully came with a 6 pin connector. Now I know 2 6 pin doesn't work (tried it), so i am going to try a 6=>8 pin connector tomorrow.

the question is - I only have one ide power cable to plug into the 6 pin adaptor - is that okay and also would the 6->8 pin adaptor work? is there a way around it?
