Running 12V fans at 7V often works nicely (easily achieved with PC
hardware by connecting the fan to 5V and 12V rather than 0V and 12V).
With my electronics-designer cap on, I'd advise a little caution with this.
The 5V regulator is designed to source, not sink, current. If the fan

Summary: with small fans, it should work, but you've introduced a mechanism
whereby a fan failure could destroy the machine.
Aha, I just knew there was more to my attraction to the zalman fan mate
than my instinctive aversion to electricity since staying

I'll second the observation that hot machines flake in odd ways. It's
not just the processor- hot memory is also unpredictable- hard drive
controllers- northbridge- you name it- there are many essential
parts that can overheat and cause you hard-to-diagnose grief.
If cooling your machine doesn't

Does anyone else run a box similar to this?
Does anyone know of any big advantages of Soekris boxes rather than EPIA?
I've got a feeling the little box will just give up or even worse blow up.

A little airflow as opposed to none can make a big

Yes, I have pretty much 3 of those running 24/7.

My temp sensors are different
My OpenBSD gateway has been playing up recently, randomly stalling
and not allowing SSH/DNS/HTTP connections from the LAN.
It is an EPIA 5000 with a 160gb HDD. I have disconnected the fan.
Below are some outputs which might help someone have a stab at what
could be going on...

Why not reconnect the fan
