https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433408 Summary: CE2A1 thermal design could be improved Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: aliao@novell.com ReportedBy: pavel@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- The system has very interesting thermal design. It claims it can operate up to 105C critical trip point but then lowers the trip point to 80C if temperature goes up. It would be safer to show 80C as critical trip point from the beggining. According to the ACPI, ACPI-controlled fan, triggering at 30C, exists. But that's a lie; the fan only exists in the ACPI tables, real fan is handled by hardware. Fake ACPI-fan should be removed from ACPI tables. In Jia Jus overnight test, temperature reached 72C, which is over passive trip point. That should be impossible according to FIC design documents and tests; this should probably be investigated. According to FIC design documents, trip point for fan at full speed is higher than passive cooling trip point. It should probably be lowered a tiny bit, otherwise machine will not be able to run at full speed when outside temperature is very hot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
