Are you sure that the CPU's fan is running fine? Did you just open up the machine and check to see if it's sucking lots of air through the heat-sync?Srtest wrote:The overall CPU temperature reaches 60 and the cpu+fan are working fine.
If it's the CPU temperature that's the problem, then why are you blaming the GPU?
IIRC, Linux also dynamically throttles the CPU. However, like the GPU, the CPU will heat up if you have it running at max load. So, you still need to make sure that your cooling is in order.Srtest wrote:As I said on Linux it is fine.
Of course you're not getting overheating failures, because your system is being shut down by software long before that point is reached. If your machine genuinely were overheating, then you woudl start getting random crashes after your machine has been running for a while, and those crashes would go away again after you've allowed it to cool off.Srtest wrote:What is a failure? to my understanding the CPU can work at 85 degrees so it's not about that. I don't know yet how to test it without the docky so maybe it could get more than 60.
Could you please list all of the temperatures that the x1000temp docky gives? That's ambient, CPU, Core 1, & core 2. Please give your machine time to heat up before reading off the numbers.
