I have an A7A266.  I had some heat issues, so I got a box with 7 fans in 
it, and now it runs fine.  The only other problem is that the onboard 
diagnostics are a little flaky and complain about high temp or low 
voltage occasionally.  I mean like for one sample only (one sample per 
second) the temp goes from 110F to 285F back to 110F.  It beeps at me then.
