aedion.net - hotter than the average website
Posted on January 28, 2006 | Filed Under Nerding Out
My web-server/router had 4-5 lock-ups over the past four days. Cracked it open to take a look and pretty much everything is covered in dust. I looked in the BIOS and installed lm-sensors to check on the CPU temperature, and it was sitting at around 60-65 degrees Celsius. This is about 20-30 degrees over what it should normally be running at, dangerously close to frying entirely.
I vacuumed out the CPU fan and heatsink, declogged the power supply (also full of dust & hair), and things seemed to work for a while. CPU was at 45 degrees, motherboard at 35… hot, but not too hot.
But, it crashed after 4 hours. Rebooted, crashed after 3… then 2-ish… eventually it would only stay on for 30 minutes at a time. I think the CPU’s melted =(. Capacitors on the motherboard look fine, so it’s not that… memtest86 doesn’t show any memory errors (while it’s not entirely hung, that is)… don’t know for sure.
Anyway, “enough of this crap,” I said. Bought a TextDrive hosting plan and i’m going to pick up a cheap D-Link gateway on the way to Chris’ this evening.
If you’re reading this, then setting things up on TextDrive went well.
