Our site once operated 200+ DS5000/25 units, and had little trouble
with overheated CPU/FPA.  Fabricated by Performance Semicon (where did
they go?), ours had malfunctioned FPA lot that revealed bit rot
syndrome with oclock before X server shape ops were rewritten for
integer only.  Later fabs of single chip needed heatsink, and early
R2000/R3000 rans slowly with much more heat, but it was uncommon in
the ascent of RISC processor age.
