Uhm... I just got here and read this after all of it happened. If you look back, you'll note this is my first and only comment on this topic. This post will also be my last on the topic.

I note that you completely disregarded my advice. And have yet to admit it was rude (or apologize) for calling people irresponsible and for calling people here names, which is far more rude than disagreeing or putting in your "expert advice" in a belittling tone.

Sigh.. Since credentials and "experiance"(sic) seems to matter so much to you:

I work as a senior design engineer for a major firm that creates custom embedded systems, some of which actually use ARM chipsets (mainly v5). I hold dual bachelor degrees in CS and CE from RIT, and have worked in the embedded systems field for over 15 years, including contract and full time positions at HP, Nortel, and Xerox. I work on micro systems like the N900 daily, both in hardware and software, and know a thing or two about "ohms law" and how theory often differs from reality. Is that enough to pass your test?

I have, in fact, disassembled my N900 to do preventative maintenance on it for the micro-USB slot. Motherboard discoloration around warm surface mount components is normal for devices like this. It's quite common with such system, especially in sealed compact devices. I see it daily in my line of work and can tell you it's just not that significant.

None of this was the point of my post. So now that maybe you're paying attention, I'll state it again a bit more plainly:

What people are reacting to here is you behaving rudely. It may even be unintentional on your part, in fact I strongly think you're being rude without realizing it. The intent of my posting was to get you to re-examine what you have said with a different perspective. I asked you do to that mental exercise so you could better understand why so many people here are upset with you, and maybe even get you to think a bit more before you post in the future.

Most people here have no qualms with the idea of creating a better way to heat sink the CPU, or ideas on how to improve overclocking. Most have no issues with someone presenting new ideas, or discussing how to help prevent potential damage to the system from heat. They do take exception to be being called names and/or discredited for making improvements that most of the active community here rejoices over, which is exactly what you have done.

Hopefully my being a little more blunt this time has gotten my point across. Maybe you'll stop trying to "argue" with me and instead think about whats been said here. Not one person here has disagreed with the core ideas you've mentioned (preventing CPU overheating). Most of the negativity against you has been a reflection or reaction of your perceived attacks, rudeness, and belittling of others. (And yes, saying things like "I'm an engineer, and know better than you" is also rude and belittling, regardless of how true it may or may not be.)

As a fellow engineer, I leave you with this logic:
Assume most others in the room agree that you're the one that's being rude. Is it logical to think that everyone has formed a conspiracy against you? Or is it more logical to consider that something you've done (intentional or not) may have in fact been rude, or triggered that perception? Logic dictates (to me anyway) that reflection is the proper path here, thus I advise it to you.
