When I woke up this morning I found the fan had came off the heatsink of my Compac Miner...  the Temp sensor was showing 66C and the CGMiner was reporting 9Gh/s.  I soon shut the mining program down and held the fan over the heatsink until the temperature showed about 25C before I moved it.  The elastic bands that I had holding the fan on top of the heatsink failed.  I decided to remount everything and see if anything had been affected.

It seems to work fine for now with the temperature at 45C.  I may have to figure out a better way to mount the fan.  Maybe use some balsa(hobby) wood?
