How do you keep the temperatures under control with all the heat that the i7 920 produces at 4.1GHz.
Watercooling ,aircooling ?

Hello Johan,
This is a fully air cooled computer. Peak temperature during 100% load is
74 degrees Centigrade with Core Temp, so it's at the limit of what I think is
acceptable.
This was a fun game: You don't often see top programs getting mated in the middle of the board in less than 20 moves these days, particularly not when playing white at a slow time control:
I am not sure that game is very valid, seems to be a dubious
opening if you ask me. But fun, oh yeah! It might get filtrated
out of the CCRL database when I upload it for the rating list,
I am not sure however since I think I can remember that both
engines have to have a evaluation out of book of less than one
half pawn; in this case DF 12 is almost at zero but on the other
hand Stockfish is claiming over a pawn advantage out of book.

I think that the game will be okay. It's only if both sides believe that the winning engine has an advantage of 0.70 or more for the entire game that it's considered a bad opening.
