Running mprime295-linux64 test 2 = In-place large FFTs (maximum heat and power consumption, some RAM tested) with 4 threads. Core 0: +55.0?C (crit = +95.0?C) Core 1: +58.0?C (crit = +95.0?C) Core 2: +58.0?C (crit = +95.0?C) Core 3: +55.0?C (crit = +95.0?C) ?CPU Temp: +47.0?C (high = +85.0?C, hyst = +81.0?C) ?Sys Temp: +43.0?C (high = +85.0?C, hyst = +81.0?C) ???? Temp: +47.0?C (high = +70.0?C, hyst = +68.0?C) ACPI THRM temperature: 47 C [so this is probably just CPU Temp] So '?CPU Temp' is probably indeed CPU Temp, but the other two are still unclear (especially the third one, which does oscillate a little, seen 45-48). The Core Temps do seem to be consistently about ~10 C higher than CPU Temp, which suggest that TjMax is probably closer to 90 C [instead of the assumed 95 C]. Since usually core temps are about 5 C higher than cpu case temp, assuming that that is indeed what is being measured here. Which also is in compliance with the thermal spec of an atom 330 being 85.2C [ http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLG9Y ] (+~5C case max to junction max gives a 90C TjMax). But it's really all just guess-work... Unfortunately my setup has rather good cooling (ran into issues with the 2 HDDs overheating and opened up the case and added an extra huge fan). And as I don't currently have physical access to it (it's on the other side of the pond) I'm not willing to dial it down. Anyway... to actually include some useful content in this email. How are we going to proceed with the atom coretemp patch?
