Anyway, I know there are fans and thermal sensors for a reason, I just thought that having CPUs run 10C hotter would not cause major problems.
As somebody who has worked in Sun's support services in the past, and had to deal with resolving customer issues which were root-caused to over-heating of cpus .... just don't do it. The chip and system design teams work really hard to design good thermal envelopes and automatic systems to protect the hardware.
I think I'll go back to using Ultra 10. It's more sluggish than E450, but in the summer E450 will be too noisy. PS. I don't see any point in buying new hardware when old SPARC machine are sufficient for what I do. Sun E450 is quite a nice machine, apart from the noisy fans.
It seems to me that you've bought the wrong machine for what you need. Might I suggest you investigate a SunBlade-xx00 machine instead? James C.
