Earlier this week my CPU was at 92. (ok it was my fault.) 92? That's cold. Fri May 19 23:59:01 BST 2006 temperature: 117 C That's the kind of thing you want. That was the last entry in my temperature log until 12:22 the day after. I've got a shuttle that is running arround 60C at the moment, about 5C more than normal, however it's a P4, with a heat pipe, into the only fan in the system. It's also got a HDD thrashing away recording video (although not at that time of night!), and an MPEG2 encoder. The fan stopped at 20:31. Temperature was 54C. By 20:40 it was 72C, 10 minutes later 81C, 90C was reached just after 9PM. At 21:22 it hit 100C, and didn't drop. over 2 1/2 hours later it was still running, hitting 117C at 23:57. I got home about 1AM, it had turned itself off, but the *case* was still too hot to touch. Replaced the fan when I got home. I'm hoping that acpi isn't reporting a fully accurate temperature. Components still working fine 6 weeks later. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
