Athlon cooling in a 1U rackmount

That's all true, Adam, but the pal15 isn't as good a heatsink as the Cool Jag/Dynatron rebadge. It's pretty hard to beat a 1-piece copper sink: http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1571&p=3 Something to try would be to flip the fans on the heatsinks ove, so they exhaust, and make sure you...

has anyone seen corrupt data on cpu running over 933

The only thing that comes to mind is that with a fast processor (933 MHz or higher), and a hard drive with a large cache, you can shut down win98 fast enough to not allow the hard drive to flush its cache to disk, and thus losing it. I'm sure that 933 MHz number isn't set in stone, but yes, I've...

(coupon expired 1/20/02)Maxtor 40gb ata 133 8.5 seek $90.90 delivered

<< Newegg has a similar price on this same drive. >> Similar, but more: # 6L040J2 $86.00 + $7.00 = $93 (regular bearings) # 6L040L2 $92.00 + $7.00 = $99 (Fluid bearings) This is a deal on the fluid bearing model, quieter than the regular bearing one. Tolerable deal, I might get 2. :)

AMD CPU temps poll!

Just for you, Sleater. Here are my graphs on my a7v and my 1GHz morgan at 1160 and 1.85V: mc370 dd new maze2/eheim 1250/dd cooling cube

are these temps alright for a 1 GHz Morgan?

morgan 1GHz@1GHz, 1.85V, MC370 w/38cfm delta room: 17C normal idle: about 35C, kinda forgot about that one. reg52 idle: 17 1/2C k7burn load: 45C sensor: MAX6657 remote, POR defaults program: SpeedFan 4.03 beta 3 my in-socket thermistor gives temps like 49 C under load.

How do you guys get ACCURATE cpu temps?

For your setup, I would probably do this: My lil project and latch onto some signals on the SMBus probably from the RAM, since I've examined a Dragon +, and I don't remember any SMBus headers on it. George

AK31A supports athlon XP's thermal diode?

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=276165 I'm just putting some finishing touches on the hardware, and waiting for a little more software support, but it does read transistor temperatures. Now if I just had an internal diode to test it on...

AK31A supports athlon XP's thermal diode?

Go get SpeedFan and tell us what sensors are on your board. For example, here's what speedfan detects for my a7v (you'll probably be able to figure out what I have on the SMBus header): DLPORTIO.DLL properly activated Linked ISA BUS at $0290 Linked VIA VT82C686 SMBUS at $E800 Scanning ISA BUS...

need a SHORT hsf

http://www.millennium-thermal.com/ The Glaciators have the fan inside, so that keeps them pretty short. If I remember right, they are like 2 inches tall. Get the aluminum one if you think the copper ones will rip your tabs off (the copper one didn't rip mine off, and I went to a LAN every...

An Interview with Arctic Silver Or How Most Things I Knew About Cooling Were Wrong.

Looks like I'll have to do a thermal compound test while I'm at it. But I still haven't come up with a good testing protocol that wouldn't be biased by the pastes tested before and still be have a large drop across the paste. Lapping would remove the bias, but it would close the gaps, making...

Buffing down the core?

Yeah, I lapped my t-bird 800. Dropped "1C" in temps according to the way-too-far-down-the-thermal-gradient-and-offset-10C-regardless Asus thermistor. I pretty much just took off the color and the lettering. When I get my XP, I'm going to do a before and after with my internal diode reader to...

An Interview with Arctic Silver Or How Most Things I Knew About Cooling Were Wrong.

I grew impatient with the lack of AMD XP diode support, so I just rolled my own: one of my posts on my adventures at Ars Now if I just had an XP chip to attach it to... (it's in the mail). I'll start testing heatsinks myself and then I can laugh at results like the ones that HardOCP puts out. :)

Has anyone ever bought from Ability Computer?

I've bought a couple of things from there, but that's only because the place is like 30 minutes or so from my house. I've never been able to get them on the phone or a hold of them via e-mail, and my friend (who's done more business with them) hasn't either. But if you show up at their shop...

newbie question re: temperature sensors on chip

<< There is a built in thermal diode on the Athlon XPs, but the Asus A7V266-E is the only one that can read it right now. >> So far, the only board that has demonstrated it can read the internal diode is the Fujitsu-Siemens D1289, like in this roundup. From the a7v266-e and XP owners I have...
