Hmm. Now that's interesting. I recently increased the refresh rate.

The thing is: I'm running on minimal visual needs anyhow:
800x600x70-75Hz. I only bumped up my refresh slightly to fix actual
flicker.

I would *expect* the video card to manage that.

How to check temperature? Is the BIOS reading useful?

Thank you very much Zentara.
