but Folknology, can the chip can support this temperature with time without radiator :?

and in XC2 there is not switch for power, so if is run always hot, do you think that there is not effect in the chip :?

Interestingly Segher claimed with his tools and only 1 core active on the XC1A it ran cooler, but can't vouch for that..

Segher any comment?
