The CPU is a Xeon 3xxx dual core 2.4 GHz. The machine has no case fans, by design. no fans by design?! looks like bad design, intel xeon draw a lot of power. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list

As with so many other things in the computer world, it depends. With no case fans, it's weird that the computer gets colder if it has something above and no it's not. the machines above and below has proper cooling, and transfers this machine heat by conduction - rack cases are mostly metal

Also something to keep in mind, most (all?) new procs have thermal cuttoffs that will kill themselves before any damage happens. If you box hasn't shut down in weird ways or underclocked itself, you are probably good to go. It's something to keep your eye on, but I wouldn't worry too much about it

snip ...I saw that the CPU core temp(s) hit 70 degrees Celsius during a compile of GCC. Is this too hot? .. /snip Maybe, maybe not. Every chip has a different operational range. This information should be available from the chip manufacturer's website, if you can find it. Additionally, this
