Re: [gentoo-user] Dell Precision Workstation Overheating

One last thought, it could be a problem with the thermal regulation itself, if you can figure out the fan wiring you could set it so they are always full on, might help, might not.  you could also put in fans the same size but higher current/airflow.  as this is a server, apparently rack

Suggestion :  ... upgrade the cooling capacity. The CPU in my box is a AMD FX-9590. TDP is 220 watts. Running at 4.7 Ghz. With cooling for TDP 250 watts, it ran hot under load. With cooling for TDP 900 watts, it rarely gets close to 110 F under heavy load. On 04/20/2018 09:11 AM, R0b0t1

Oak Ridge National Laboratory uses these processors ( Rhea Cluster ) and has numerous heat failures. Due to poor cooling ... surprised? The cooling is not working right. Something is still wrong. On 04/19/2018 09:33 PM, R0b0t1 wrote: > Dell Precision T7600, two 16 thread Xeons, 192GB of RAM,

Re: [gentoo-user] Dell Precision Workstation Overheating

what thermal grease did you use?  did you clean all the old stuff off.  Be aware that the lids on cpu chips are usually somewhat concave on the top, recently had to add a drop of thermal grease to regreased cpu that was running too hot even idleing.  solved it completely.  current processors

I was compiling Gentoo, as is custom, but found my old new server to be thermal cycling wildly. The fans will turn on full blast and machine check errors will be generated if I use approximately more than one third to half of the cores. The cores then throttle themselves, only to immediately
