I have a server that has dual Athlon MP 2200+'s. Each processor has the HSF that came in the package with the processor. I have 2 case fans: one at the front pulling in air and one at the back pulling the air out. The box has been up for 45 days and has been nothing but stable.
Earlier today, I installed lm_sensors to read the temperature sensors on the motherboard. Both processors' temperatures are hovering around 85C. While the server had been stable, are the processors running that hot gonna cause problems somewhere down the line?
lm-sensors may be off by a factor of 2 (or possibly some other amount). You probably should reboot so you can see what the temps and voltages are in your BIOS, and calibrate lm-sensors accordingly. I think if your CPU's really were 85C, your computer would have turned itself off.
This is a production machine and I really don't feel like driving out to where its located just to check the temperature.
Stop using lm-sensors then. You HAVE to synchronize lm-sensors temps with a known accurate reading. The only way to get that is to reboot the machine and get the temps from the BIOS (or get a sensors.conf file from someone with the EXACT same board).
From searching with google and on the forums, I found a few different sensors.conf from people with my EXACT same board. The temperatures remained the same with each of the 3 or 4 different sensors.conf files I tried.
