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.<br>
