no intention of turning up the power since i dont think even with the fan
that little heat sink could properly cool things down running 60 wats for a
prolonged amount of time.
I was more interested in resetting the actual power level
settings...changing from 5, 10 and 50W to 5, 25 and 50 watts to make the
differences in the low med and high settings a little more noticeable.
I suppose if you dont really know what you are doing or change settings that
you dont know the function of then you could mess things up bad enough.
If one sticks with deviation and power, one could probably be pretty safe.
