Hi Drew,

We've got a few Raq's (3's and 4's) and they run around 30-35oC so that
appears to be the norm. Those are in an air conditioned server room.


Onto the WARNING to everyone, I just checked my RaQ4, and found the CPU
at 51oC, after checking the machine physically, found BOTH fans had
stopped (RaQ is 3 months old).


I checked and it appears that the FAN running/CPU temperature are NOT
checked/emailed to the admin upon a problem (via the swatch monitor).

I am writing an emailer that will notify the admin if the CPU goes above
50oC, if anybody wants the script drop me an email.

Andy
