Interesting, thanks for effort. What temperature occurs when idle? Does
Linux have a cool down feature?
Temps considered normal for you are high for me. Examples:
Arachne in straight dos 46c-115f, run in os/2 with cool tsr 35c-95f
Sitting idle in dos or doze: 42-46c 107-115f
Ilde in os/2: 25-28c 77-82f
This with a fan made for pentium 1 running on top of a duron 750
Found a dosidle app from http://japeth.de Look in dos tools, also can run
doze apps in dos without windows.
Temperature drops to 31c-87f Of course using a dos app brings cpu back to
full. Low temperature is important to me for durability reasons. Examples:
Laptop running dos or doze literally shutdown from heat, were told were
junk. Yet they ran os/2 and never had a problem since. 16 years never had
an internal problem in a machine (1 keyboard shorted out). Would use dos
more if it ran cooler. The dosidle app helps.
Would like to hear from the Linux folks what occurs when at idle. Is there
a cool cycle? There is quite a difference between OS for cpu usage and
temperature. Friend's XP box ran at 51% cpu usage with no app started, yet
at least double cpu speed. Mine was 2%
Main box has an external digital temp display. Can monitor difference
between apps running. Temps have been creeping up lately. Time to
clean heatsink and redo paste. From what I have learned temperature is most
critical in electronics durability.
Info on other dos idle apps and other OS temps appreciated.
