It's been well established that there is a wide variance in the operating temps for different z's. I've seen some run hot, and some run cool...likely due to natural variation within tolerances

That is wierd. I have never heard of this, nor know of anyone with a Z that runs substantially cooler or hotter than the rest of us.

When my Z says it's running a temperature, I break out the anal thermometer just to be sure.
