Hi Lonnie, > Are you using "coretemp" for your temp numbers? If so, I've not seen > accurate values using coretemp on the Jetway just as with the net6501 > (previously discussed).
I'm using the temperature reported in the BIOS after leaving the system running under a normal workload for about an hour, and then immediately rebooting into the BIOS to record the results. I have found very random results with using software packages under FreeBSD/pfsense, and Linux. I'm using the Jetway NF99FL-525 dual core 1.8Ghz board with an add on 3 port NIC card. It was very well supported by pfsense, but in retrospect is a bit much CPU for what I need. > Using a "NoiseBlocker NB-BlackSilent XM-1 40x10mm Ultra-silent" (whisper > quiet) fan and "M350 Universal Mini-ITX Case" (lots of holes). I have two similar fans, and a very open 1U rack mount case with lots of holes all around as well. Exit temperature from the fans is around 40 C with the fans running full at about 6000 RPM. Board temps are as I posted earlier, even with powerd running and scaling back the CPU speed. > The Jetway CPU temps average about 40 degC (38-43) above the ambient. Based on my ambient temp of about 22 C, I should be seeing around 62 C then, but I'm only able to maintain that if I have the fans running full out, which generates a decent amount of noise even with the quiet aspect of the fans. Without any fans, or at full CPU load, the temp easily gets to 85-90C. > Soren mentiond the net6501-70 runs 32 degC above the ambient using the > standard case on a table. That's good to know. I have a 1.6Ghz Atom netbook that generates very little heat, and was hoping for the same on the net6501. I think I'll go forward with some net6501 purchases to replace these boxes. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
