the top temp. I have seen for TSENS2 is 60.60 degC.
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.
hi,
I have a few m10000's running fine with fans. IIRC, VIA for some reason
dropped CPU temp from their last BIOS revisions. Go figure.
I did some testing running it fanless with a larger heatsink (Zalman VGA
originally) and it would get flaky above ~66 C with random hangs and
reboots, so I stopped that. This is from memory.
This would also depend in part on your case and power supply.
Things you can try:
- get a quieter fan, the original one is pretty crap.
- get a larger heatsink, possibly voiding your warranty.
- get a zalman fan mate (or similar) it goes between your fan and
mainboard and allows fan speed to be regulated with a knob. A little
airflow as opposed to none can make a big difference.
you can check out the various projects on say mini-itx.com to get an
idea how far people have pushed these boards.
