May be, there is possibility to restrict processor work-loading? For example, limit d.net appetite for proc resources to 80% of maximum. So, if my tasks occupy 80% or more, d.net paused, if my tasks occupy 79%, d.net claim no more than 1%, etc... Can I configure maximal proc work-load and, if answer is "yes", then how to do it? My OS is OS/2 Warp 4.52 (kernel revision 14.100F of 11Nov2004).

Case opened and I always can check fan's rotating and radiator's temperature. Fan good, but I don't know, what is temp of radiator, because my motherboard have no temperature control. How to define temp, normal it or no? I heard about simple rule: if you can touch radiator, temp is good, if you shriek with pain, it is overheated. :) Is it true?

I not look to paste and don't know, what is brand of it. I remember labels "Silver blah-blah" and "TITAN". I think, it dosn't matter, because I get it for free, as gift. Russians says: Have not look at gifted horse's tooth. #:O{)> Hope, you understand my ugly translation.

My processor and radiator was already clean. I add paste and it get effect, but much less than I wish. So, I downclock proc from 200 to 166MHz. Now it cool. In my biased assessment.
