Yes, running the X1900 is like running a lawnmower in your house. It overheats so badly that the rest of the computer slows to a halt so not to melt into a pool of liquid or explode, but it usually does. Suggesting your house hasn't burned down yet, the fans will blow out flames from the sheer intensity of the heat emanating from the X1900.
