That's pretty extreme... you might void the warranty :).
I just tried that, but reduced it to a -j 20 and closed mozilla out because I have 256 megs of RAM - anyhow, the box felt really slow (I have a 1 ghz Athlon). Surprisingly it stayed up and no segfaults, even though the box is running setiathome and folding (protein synthesis) and backing up /home at the same time.
Playing .mp3 really sounds strange on such a system - the words come out every few seconds ;).
Yeah :) Cool hein ? That real Pain-Music ;)
Did you check your box temperature during that, by chance? Is your box
overclocked?
I didn't but I'm not sure I trust sensors output on this mobo. It's
saying some voltages are too high and temp3 is 112 degrees C. I certainly hope not :(.
Anyhow the only time my system (rearly 2 yrs old, run 24/7) crashed
due to overheating was one time I was doing a seek in a video CD with an old rev of xine. I don't know how it caused it, but alarms started
going off...
On the Old mainboard I did have a temperature around 60C Celcius...
On the actual Board - I can't tell - as the sensors does not work yet (Apparently there are patches around, etc. even the nforce2 SMBUS Code compiled cleanly and loaded - but the rest of the lm_sensors stuff won't work with it... Guess I need to wait a little bit until the Bugs are fixed ) :)
Regarding your Temperatures, I'd have a look at /etc/sensors.conf and check if you have configured the right smbus and Chips for you mobo.
But with 512MByte of Ram and no -windows System running - the -j 100 works quite good :) on my system ... But if that's
Cheers
