Nope, no OC-ing here. > Are ALL the motherboard PSU supply sockets used? All except the PCIe supply. I have had it connected, but the system kept failing anyway and according the manual it's only required when you're running with two PCIe graphics cards. > Have you got a PSU overload on one or more supply rail? I've taken care to balance disk and drives over all the PSU outputs (it's got a lot of'em). > Is there a bad thermal contact between the CPU and heatsink? When the board was replaced, I took great care to clean both heatsink and CPU for old thermal compound and whatever muck and dust had collected, then applied a minimal amount of new thermal compound before re-seating the CPU+heatsink. > (Transient temps can be very much higher than what is > reported/measured. That has been suggested before, but what sort of temperature spikes are to be expected? I also asked AMD if the supplied heatsink+fan were considered adequate for cooling under full load, which they confirmed. > MPrime will heat the CPU far more than a program compile ever can! Definitely. > Very strange if you have a /compile/ showing a greater temperature... Well, I never get to run four copies of mprime for long enough. > So try reseating your heatsink cleaned and with > a VERY THIN layer of thermal grease.) Yep, see above :-) > Have you applied the Linux kernel patch and/or the motherboard BIOS > patch for the Barcelona TLB bug (assuming that is what you have)? I haven't applied the Linux patch, but I do have the patch in the BIOS. Maybe I'll try the patch too - just in case. /Per Jessen, Zürich _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
