Yikes! I'm nervous enough about the operating temperature of 122 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. The AMD docs I read said 90 to 95C internal core is the failure limit. They also said to add 10 to 20C to reported probe (thermistor) cpu temps, to approximate the internal core temp. No, I agree. 230F = 110C is a temp I've never seen in AMD docs. Even 203F = 95C seems unbelieveable. But that is the max temp AMD specs for processor failure. I think they mean permanently fried ;) IMO, AMD's should be kept under 60C core ( 50C from a probe) at extreme load, or you're gonna see heat related problems. Lettin 'em run hot causes a gradual degradation of the core. I had a system that was experiencing periodic lockups recently. Turns out the cpu temps were creeping up to around 78C. Improving the case cooling brought the temp down to around 63C under load. Still not ideal, but the system is in a safe and has limited cooling. I may have to try a different heatsink fan combo. This is a Tyan dual cpu mb with 2100+MPs. Obviously reliability fails well below 110C, at least for this system. I only wonder why recently AMD began internal diode temp sensing for the core. Something even the first Pentiums have had all along, including good motherboard support for it. From what I've read, the few recent AMD boards that can read the new AMD diode, don't do it very well. I believe that's why Intels are the preferred cpu's for servers. Anyone know which mbs have the core temp sensors? -- Thomas K.

This is a Tyan dual cpu mb with 2100+MPs. Obviously reliability fails well below 110C, at least for this system. Anyone know which mbs have the core temp sensors? Well, the core temp sensors are in the core, which is the XP chip itself. In other words it's an AMD cpu thing; which is the reason for the increase in accuracy over the mobo sensors. If you were at 78C you were at extreme risk of frying your CPU's. In fact it's possible that there might have been some damage done. But you can chill those puppies and you might be able to get stability under high load with no problem. What I would do is install two Vantec Areoflow heat sink fans (they have copper cores, surrounded by a block of machined aluminum) after cleaning the chip surfaces carefully with a q-tip soaked in odorless mineral spirits to get rid of the old thermal compound. Same for the HSF. Get some Arctic Silver 3 thermal compound (the best thermal resistance rating you can get) and use that to install your Areoflows (model number VA4-C7040). Arctic Silver 3 is pretty much the best thermal compound around and as a result of it's superior thermal resistance it can get your core down by as much as 7C. The Areoflows have bearingless fans which are some of the quietest in the industry, and ultimately reliable because they are, well, bearingless. It is possible to get a better thermal resistance with another HSF, but not without going to a bearing based fan, and the HSF's that outperform the Areoflow don't do it by a significant margin and plus they weigh a ton cause usually they are solid copper. That can possibly put a physical strain on the mobo if it's in a tower case. -- Thomas K.

[expert] Bug about Gigabyte motherboard?
Hello, A friend of mine had lot of problems to have well recognized a ethernet card conected to a cable modem under Mandrake 9.1. In fact it had not network runing :-). We thought that the problem was related with the ethernet card, and then we tried with others, but that didn't solve it. Recently he has changed the mother board and, suddently, the Mandrake 9.1 installation is runing like a charm :-) using the same ethernet card. So, we think the problem could be related with the mother board; the first one was: Gigabyte 8ST800 with a P4 2.53Ghz 533. Now he has a Intel motherboard with Serial ata.2. I have put this message in the list to know if someone has had similar problems with this Gigabyte mother board. If the answer is yes, could be a Mandrake bug, a mother board bug, or a linux bug (one or more modules not runing as well as we spect). In the case that it were a Mandrake bug, should be corrected for the 9.2. or, better, also for 9.1 :-) Best Regards -- Francisco Alcaraz Ariza Murcia, España (Spain) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] NIC's
Well - it depends on the Implementation. The 3c9x can be in a bad implementation as on the Asus A7N8X Delux Boards. The Onboard via-rhine Lan-port is 2 times faster than the onboard 3c9x Implementation. But I have to admit - that in long run - Intel/Tulip and 3c9x Boards have proven to be the most stable ones :) Cheers Joerg On Monday 14 July 2003 09:07, James Sparenberg wrote: On Tue, 2003-07-15 at 09:45, Richard Bown wrote: Hi all I did send this in when the server was down so it looks like it got lost.

Re: [expert] Nokimichi cd changer
I think you still have to create the devices and links (they're already there now). That said there is a package on the additional software CD (78) called scsiadd. After installing scsiadd place the following lines in /etc/rc.local: /usr/sbin/scsiadd -a 1 0 2 /usr/sbin/scsiadd -a 1 0 3 /usr/sbin/scsiadd -a 1 0 4 /usr/sbin/scsiadd -a 1 0 5 /usr/sbin/scsiadd -a 1 0 6 (in my case, the host, device and id may be different for you, you can tell what it is by examining the existing 2 entries). That's scsiadd host (the adapter) id (the scsi id, it will also be reported at boot time) lun (the thing we are trying to create) I hope that helps anybody else who has this problem. Also urpmi may be a little broken coming out of the box, so this package may be a challenge to install. mg On Monday 07 July 2003 21:06, Mike Grello wrote: Hi, I have a Nokimichi MBR-7.4 7 disk cd changer.

Re: [expert] KDE K3b cdrw
Somebody scribbled about Re: [expert] KDE K3b cdrw So thought I'd try the MP3 to audio procedure. Opened a new audio project and drag 'n drop 19 MP3's and started the burn. I did uncheck That's pretty much a summary of what I want to do. From looking at the k3b prog it seems quite doable. I have a number of radio MP3s and others (otr mostly) and want to just burn them to audio cds. Now I just got a burner (Toshiba SD-1312) and there's a separate thread on selecting CD-RWs etc in expert going on. But, my standard 9.2 cooker refuses to boot, so I'm limping along with 9.0 installed to a spare partition right now... not sure if this will even make it to the list.
