[Duo2400] Re: 2400 heat

[Ralph Mawyer]

NuPower G3s are aluminum based and run hotter than the copper-based  
Interware/Vimage.

The G3/400 runs hotter than the G3/320 for more or less obvious  
reasons....just ask Intel.

I'd take either Interware G3, I just wouldn't pay a lot more for the  
400.

At one time Jeremy had some temperature data points on his site, but I  
can't locate the page.

FWIW, my NuPower G3 went out in a blaze of glory after running around  
170F most of the time.  My Interware G3/320 rarely exceeds 160F.
