Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! All of the following tests were run on an Intel P4-1.5ghz machine. DOS == OpenDos v7.01 Linux == SlackWare v12.2 running the 2.6.27.7-spm kernel Startup temps booted to Linux.... CPU Temp: +98.6°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) M/B Temp: +86.0°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) After 40 min of Linux usage running Xserver, mozilla, viewing portions of several streaming videos some with mplayer plugin, some with flashvideo plugin.... CPU Temp: +118.4°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) M/B Temp: +107.6°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) Rebooted to DOS & loaded the dosidle.exe TSR left machine running unattended at DOS command prompt for 20 min. Rebooted to Linux to check the new temps.... CPU Temp: +123.8°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) M/B Temp: +109.4°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) Rebooted to DOS but did not load the dosidle.exe TSR left machine running unattended at DOS command prompt for 20min. Rebooted to Linux to check the new temps..... CPU Temp: +125.6°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) M/B Temp: +111.2°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) Remained in Linux with machine running unattended at Linux CLI for 20min. CPU Temp: +109.4°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) M/B Temp: +102.2°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) Powered-down and waited 20min Powered-up and booted into Linux to get new temps.... CPU Temp: +109.4°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) M/B Temp: +95.0°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) Rebooted to DOS and ran Arachne for 20min doing several large downloads Rebooted to Linux to check new temps.... CPU Temp: +125.6°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) M/B Temp: +111.2°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F) _____________________________________________________________________________ Tests done.
