Hot & lucky SOB greetz you
 

I think this belongs in cooling. :D

I got two telephone calls this morning about strange "beeps" coming from out of my office.
As i thought it was the servers' raid 1 array restoring the array i didn't panic. It happened once before and it takes a lot of time restoring (and beeping) ... no danger at all.
An hour ago i entered the "beeping" office and checked the servers' raid array which was fine, server was in perfect working order.
Then i checked mbm .... :grr: ... 92°C !
Goddammit ! Screenie 4 the guys and a quick shutdown !
MBM shutdown didn't work (allthough i tested it before).
CPU fan was NOT working at all.
I replaced the fan and the replacement didn't work also.
The fan1 header just stopped functioning !
Never experienced or heared of a similar problem.

The TB 850 was a sucker OC'er ... at least it keeps working at 92°C ... guess i should feel lucky ... everything works fine now ... at 37°C ... on fan2 header

Lucky SOB

92°C is wel héél extreem... Zou da geen fout zijn? (ik bedoel: hij was wellicht wel héél warm, maar dat de sensors vanaf een bepaald aantal graden gewoon paraplu staan ofzo?)

There is a TT volcano 9 on it ... on the HS you have a 80mm fan (25mm heigh) ... and on that fan there is a iron fingerguard ... even that fingerguard was VERY hot.

Only thing that saved me was the good quality cpu and 4 casefans.

ready to bake some eggs :)

Just re-configured MBM and shutdown.exe
Apparantly the alarm settings in MBM vanished somehow ! , that's why it was still "ON".

you lucky bastard

Now that's what I call a burn-in. :grin:

An athlon keeps functioning for quite a while when the fan is switched of if you've got a decent heatsink. A friend of me had a alpha 8045 & XP1800+ with a fan on a baybus. His sister used his computer when he was away, and switched the fan of (because it made noise...) in the morning. It wasn't until late that evening before the athlon died. :flow:

HOLY ****
that's why I gave my sister my old k6-2 :)

sorry for late reply
but I guess that you mean me?? or are there still other people you know to which it happened?
actually the proc wasn't dead (semi-dead), it didn't worked anymore, so I installed other proc, and week or so later, the other proc worked again ... but it ran very hot (50 idle instead of 40)
so I sold it (for about 100 euro)
tja, stupid sister :rolleyes:
shouldn't have told here what the purpose of that switch was :D
:^)

hmm , doesn't seem like a fair thing to do, unless you told the person you sold it to about this little 'ol problem...
