The fan doesn't go to hi-speed mode until 96*C, so it ends up getting hot. I'd rather it be louder and cooler (so it doesn't burn my freaking leg). I might have to bring my desktop up here just to simulate this stuff.

Did I mention it's also really slow? The rate is around 25us/s of simulation time. Takes 30 minutes to simulate 50ms of transients and controls at 25us/s.
