RE: [cobalt-developers] CPU temperature limits

[Herb Rubin <herbr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I only had one spare fan laying around but needed both replaced. Raq 4r
has 2 fans facing out the back. So, I had a choice: replace the fan
blowing across the CPU or replace the fan blowing across the power
supply. I chose to replace the CPU fan first. I'll replace the power
supply fan in 2 days. Maybe the temperature will drop even more.

My other Raq4r's have an average temperature of 34 Celsius.
It might be fun to plot the temp's using rrdtool (mrtg). It builds gif
graphs for you.
