[cobalt-users] [Qube2] To fan or not to fan

[Pierre Chopot <pierre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello List,

  Did somebody ever tried to run a Qube2 over a long period of time
  with a disconnected fan ? Although the Qube2 is very small and easy
  to set in a home business environment, it is still real noisy in
  that same environment (my laser printer for example has a sleep mode
  and makes no noise at all).
  Also, do you think it would be possible to disable it via software ?
  or better, to enable it only if the CPU or HD reaches a certain
  temperature ? (I don't know about the MIPS, but some Intel
  motherboard/chipset do have a temp measurement, this was discussed
  sometimes ago..)
  If you want to know, I did run the Qube without a fan for a few
  hours, but I didn't have the ... to try for a longer time.. Maybe
  somebody was more adventurous :-)
