Very, very, very funny.  My 2nd message to Riddle_Decipher

HP sites are definitely not using friendly.

I remember the time when mr Packard used to test and retest every piece of equipment.  Everyone knew that it was top quality, the best in the world.  Well those times are over I'm afraid.

What?  Nobody knows where are the thermal sensors on the board?  Come on guys, a little effort.  Must be a least 2: 1 for the CPU, 1 for the motherboard temp!

The OPOLAR performs well as long as I don't plug a webcam in.

Must stay at max speed though.  Definetely won't work in automatic mode.

@patof6 That error on the community only occurs when a private message is sent twice within a few seconds or when there's any connection issue, that said, as for the thermal sensors, I'm afraid we don't deal with chip level servicing and thus, do not have the information of where the sensor is located, for assistance on that, we recommend you take the device to the ASP as suggested earlier.

Good luck!

Hi guys,

Replaced the Phenom II N970 (35W)  with a Phenom II P960 (25W).  No more thermal issue.

Thanks to all those who offered help.

This issue is now solved.
