Typically yes. Usually 20-40 min after running on full load. Or after 50-60 min with 3/4 load.
Which would take us back to my earlier suspicion of HEAT and that 85 C temperature right before every crash.
I've asked Gigabyte if the third temp temperature sensor is the Northbridge, but they haven't replied yet. I suspect it's the Northbridge, as the other two are almost certainly system and CPU temp. The CPU temp has hit a max of 60-62 degrees, which according to AMD is fine. AMD has also confirmed (by email) that the heatsink+fan that came with the "boxed" CPU is sufficient for CPU-cooling under full load. If it's the Northbridge getting too hot, it's still likely Gigabytes problem. Maybe the heatpipe/sink was poorly mounted or assembled. I don't see much chance of improving on the cooling for the Northbridge. I should be getting a new board some time next week - just sent off the bother one yesterday. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
