I'm looking for confirmations on any kind of correlation between
the problems people have been having with the assorted VIA IDE
chipsets and possible overheating of said chipsets.

I'm asking because I suffered from the VIA-chipset-ate-my-data
bug, and I've been trying to reproduce it to no avail. The only
thing I haven't been able to recreate is the heat (ambient was
~35C (~95F) at the time), and noticing that now with ambient at
~25C (80F) the heatsink of the 694x quickly hits ~40 when doing
heavy I/O, whereas most articles I've read seem to think 25-30C
is about right, and that I was doing this heavy i/o thing when
the bug bit...

if any of you know what temperature this thing _should_ be, and
further if y'all could get onto those chipsets with thermometers
to see if we have a temp vs. crashes distribution, we might be
onto something.

Or maybe not.
