Re: [SLE] temperature probe again...
Hello Stephane
It's the motherboard, the ambient temperature is only making it worse.
That board lacks power (and therefore temperature)-saving features.
My CPU runs at 56°C idle, 60-61°C stressed (Athlon 1400).
When the load goes up a little, the board freezes.
You can use lmsensors, it distributed with SuSE as sensors I think.
Load the kernel module in boot.local, and edit the configuration file to suit
your settings.
I can send both boot.local and sensors.conf for that board to you (from my home
account). I'll try to remember that tonight ;-)
Meanwhile, have a look at my website:
http://unixmafia.port5.com - news -special features - overheating...
I've documented the whole background of the problem.
The only solution is what I'm going to do, replace the board. I'm buying an
ECS K7s5. It's a pitty to loose the money, because the A7V133 is a real expensive
board, still under warranty... but my reseller is not doing anything to help
me.
Kind regards
Guy
