    Hi, ive been battling what computer musicians and audio fiddlywiddlers call pops and clicks ( tiny dropouts in the communication that cause a tiny millisecond of audio to go missing resulting in an annoying and often very unwanted pop or click). After clawing out my eyes not understanding why i cant get nice clean responsive audio on my nok1500 machine i decided to disable ACPI and installed the MPS drivers instead, voilla absolutely perfect sound at the smallest of buffer sizes ! Crazy ****! i'm thinking. but then i realize that my left hand is a lot warmer than my right. So i open RMclock to find that my core temperature is a whopping 85 degrees! this can hardly be good for my poor little processor i thought so i reverted back to ACPI to go online and post these questions.

    Can my HEL80 be allowed to operate at this temperature or will it become unstable or even melt into a puddle of plastic and cute coloured transistors ?

    Is there any way of setting my computer up so it wont get as hot when in MPS mode? like making RMclock do something constructive ?

    Is there Any reason why MPS should work better for me? (i was thinking perhaps it assigned a different IRQ to my firewire connection, but with the temperature so high i didn't allow myself time to check before quickly rebooting to ACPI to reduce the CPU temp.)

    Any help hints or comments are greatly appreciated.

    Daniel

    for some reasone changing any FID or VID settings in RMclock, dont seem to have any effect, in MPS mode or in ACPI mode
