my next machine planning, help and advice wanted!
Sure you can. I just looked around, and most of the numbers quoted say you're right -- it should be fine. I wouldn't. Some CPUs won't unlock once they overheat. But the 40's should be fine. At least keep monitoring it -- you don't want to come anywhere near your threshold.

No it's not. Not Celsius anyway. Do the math, 65 Celsius is about 149 Fahrenheit. And before anyone else corrects me, yes I'm pretty sure he quoted the units right, especially if he was overclocking AND had both his fans off AND the ambient room temperature is already 71 (note to Billy -- it's never cooler inside the computer than it is outside the computer -- that's why there's cooling). Okay, someone make a snarky comment that Billy just made the computer equivalent of a RSA Raptor, please.

So him and Gary Numan are proto-smurfs? Or very cold. I now want to see Immortal colorized smurf-blue, for some reason.

I guess it depends how cold you are.

65c? That strikes me as a bit high. 12G is pretty epic for iTunes.

It also depends on how strong the lighting is. Everything is transparent if you're backlit by a hydrogen bomb going off.

As white as you are, black is not that much moar stealthy and less noticeable. I say get nude. And no, I did not mean to make that a separate paragraph.

Yeah, I mean, it's not like they won't take your money. That's just counterproductive.

So what's everyones beef with the K701's?
I'm in the minority, in that I neither love nor hate them. I did think when I heard them that they were perfectly good phones, if polite. Personally, I like polite -- your headphones shouldn't have to make the music exciting -- the music should already be exciting. At least they didn't err on the side of "weirdly colored" (GS1000 comes to mind). I never got a pair only because I didn't find that they did anything that any other phones didn't do, and were essentially open.
