Re: [cobalt-users] Processor Temp. on a 3i / 4i

[Sai Sivanesan <sai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A while ago we had both fans fail in our raq4. Temp. registered for a brief
while at 87 deg. Cel. and then settled between 53 - 57 deg, with both fans
replaced its now 33 deg.  This is for a raq in full rack - sitting on top of
some "HOT like a hair dryer" dual cpu 1U HP boxes.

We also had a raq 4i on a table which we use for testing (we are tying to
build a analog / report magic based .pkg) we took the fans out for fun and
ran it for a day - we got up to about 54 deg.  with the fans and almost no
load, its 29 deg steady for 9 days.  As far as I can tell the HD is cold, I
am sure its not sleeping... The air coming out of the fans is cool as well.

We are going to simulate some heavy traffic and see what the temp is like.

Sai.
