1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : platform '' not found (empty string) (Message 48989) Posted 24 Nov 2007 by clownius Post: I run Kubuntu but i had a similar issue a while back (actually i think it was 5.4.11 64 bit version). Back then it was a compile issue. fixed by upgrading to 5.8.x obviously your running 32 bit boinc on a 64 bit system if you need ia32libs.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Intel Dual Core Issues (Message 48804) Posted 19 Nov 2007 by clownius Post: Paul 70C on any core would have me running my speeds back down PDQ. Gonna put stress on the CPU if done for long periods. If you have a good CPU cooler and still get crazy temps like that than you need to look into the case as thats insanely hot for a stock processor. A crap case like my stock speed Q6600 is in can add and easy 15-20C to your temps over buying a decent Tower or Mid tower case with more than a few fans around. If you can afford it look into an Antec or Coolmaster Gaming case. A lot more than a generic case but your CPU temps will love you for it. I have a Q6600 in my Antec 900 running cooler at 3.43Ghz than my stock Q6600 in a cheap generic case using exactly the same Zlaman CPU fan. Its all about getting the hot air away from the CPU and preferably out of the case.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Intel Dual Core Issues (Message 48718) Posted 16 Nov 2007 by clownius Post: Hmm thats hot but not drastically hot. One of my Q6600's hits 75 under TAT loaded but thats with a hefty 3.51Ghz overclocking and its now watercooled so heating problem gone. What sorta case and CPU fan are you using? The Core 2's will take quite a lot of high temp running but for example my Q6600 at stock 2.4Ghz barely passes 45 with my Zalman cooler on it and Quads obviously run hotter. I wouldnt stress too much but look at remounting you CPU fan (the stock ones are notorious for having a leg or two unclip randomly) and/or getting a beefed up CPU fan. Or you can just leave it and keep an eye on it but its well within spec.
