I use debian etch on compact presario v4000. I add temperature monitor
to my panel. I see the temperature is hight around 70-80 C and sometime
os is shutdown automatically. The cpu load is low. It run at 100% for
some time interval. When I run window os this problem is gone. My laptop
is cool and quite. Do you know why linux make laptop hot?
Try googling presario v4000 linux fan and see what turns up. Check out
the kernel docs and see if there's a kernel module missing that runs
your fan.
Check out your bios. On my desktop box I have the bios control the fans
based on temperature. It controls the CPU and 4 case fans independantly
based on 4 sensors around the MB (memory, chipset, top of board, rear of
board) plus the CPU temp. It keeps the CPU at 40 C and the board at
22 C.
That's interesting, what motherboard and what case is that?
Hi Hugo,
Case: CoolerMaster CM-Stacker STC-T01
PSU: CoolerMaster iGreen Power 600 W mounted fan-side up in lower PSU
bay
Fans: CoolerMaster Cross-Flow (12" long 1" squirrel fan blows air
from the right side of the case along the full width of the MB
front to back, directly across the memory, chipset and over the
CPU heatsink/fan combo, and over the fanless video card.
Connected to MB.
Dual Vantec Stealth 80 MM fans blowing out in upper PSU bay.
Connected to MB.
Case comes with 80 mm blow-hole fan blowing out in top of case.
Connected to drive power: always on.
Front of case has 3 CoolerMaster 4-in-3 drive modules each with
a 120 mm fan blowing in, connected to drive power: always on.
Stock AMD Athlon CPU cooler/fan connected to MB.
MB: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
Memory: 1 GB stick DDR2 800 ECC
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3800+
Video: Asus EN7300GT Silent (nVidia 7300GT).
Drives: Dual Seagate Barracuda 80 GB drives in 3 partitions each, first
two for system in raid1, third partition each for LVM for user
(currently only used for a /home LV).
Box is basically silent. The case has this huge grill on the left side
and there is a _very_ high pitch directional sound that comes out. It
may be the CPU fan. Can't do anything about that without voiding the
CPU warranty. Since it is directional, I just don't have the sound
pointing at me.
I designed this box from the outset as a very quite very cool long-lived
unit. The last time I bought a computer was 15 years ago. I can't add
any more memory to my 486 and its that primarily that forced the issue
of a new one. But now I can watch DVDs and take full advantage of my
big screen.
Remember that heat kills electronics. Most are designed for a max
ambient (to the chip not the box) of 25 C. Keep it cool and feed it
pure power and it will be happy for a very long time.
Good luck.
Doug.
