Hey everyone, I am not sure this is supposed to be in the expert list, but since it's more hardware related I sent it here. I just got a Tyan Thunder Pro system with two Athlon 2000+ CPUs. The power supply I was provided was an ATXGES one, and I just trusted the OEM supplier to have ensured it was the right one for the board. Little did I know. As soon as I connected it, I heard a bang, and there you are, nothing seemed to work. I went to the store to get a replacement and an explanation, and they didn't know what it was until I read on the net that while the Thunder version does need an ATXGES, the Thunder Pro is incompatible (although it has the ATXGES connector), thus it should not be powered by an ATXGES. They replaced the power supply and handed the rest of the system back to me, as is. Since this is going to be a production server, I need to know if the hardware got damaged... After a memory test (the one supplied on the Mandrake Linux CD), memory seems fine. Both CPUs seem to be recognized. POST seemed fine, and I installed the SMP kernel and Mandrake Linux and it boots and seems to work. My first question is: What else can I do to make sure nothing got damaged? Second, I installed lm_sensors and gkrellm, and I get a 72 degC on the case heat and the CPU2, while I get 76-77 degC on the CPU1. Do you have any such results from the Tyan Thunder boards, and could you tell me if it's normal? I find it awefully high, and I opened the case, and it seems to me more like 30 degC in the case... Why is CPU1 so much higher than CPU2? is it a configuration thing of lm_sensors (I ran sensors-detect of course), i.e. just an error reading, or is it that one of the CPUs or the motherboard is busted... How could I test them? Thanks a lot for any advice on the matter, gikoreno
