I find it strange with this rather large temp range, and 55 seems very low to my experience. Could they possibly stand for something else? Did not find any description of the numbers anywhere on that address.
I think you should always worry about any temperature measured on a system that's in the >= 65C range. as Jim mentioned, the temps that matter are actually on-chip and not really accessible - and it's unknown to us what they should be anyway, or how long they can tolerate particular temps. and whether over-temp failure modes would be transient (conductivity in semiconductors changes rapidly as a function of temperature) or gradual (electromigration
or perhaps the solder-ball problems nvidia had)...
the original question was about wheter 60-65C is a safe operating temperature. I think it's pretty clearly high - whether it's critical depends on how it's measured, the specific chip's specs, etc. but it's not the sort of operating range I'd be aiming for. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
