That quick and dirty enough? Your quoted text suggested letting the TIM drop to ambient, not idle, temps.
Yeah, it says to go power off ambient, but that ain't happening on this farm.....

As to manually doing it, that might be significant work....particularly if we are talking about my entire farm....I'm lazy by nature, that's why I became an engineer, to invent things to allow me to take a nap.

I realize dropping to idle is not as good as ambient, however I don't think power cycling the machine would be too good for it, particularly those who run highly overclocked D9 RAM......
