Tom's Hardware Guide Dual-Core Stress Test forsat: Efter Intel-systemet har haft flere genstarter, har man nu skiftet køleren ud, som ellers var beregnet til Dual-Core processorer. Man mistænker den for at spinne med for lidt omdrejninger, hvilket var skyld i høje temperaturer - iøvrigt noget som brugere i vores forum påpegede - godt gået...
Man har også valgt at udskifte strømforsyningen, så nu er stort set alle komponenter i Intel-system udskiftet, så hvis der bliver flere problemer, er der næsten kun processoren der kan have skylden.
Endnu engang må det bemærkes at AMD-systemet har kørt stabilt siden dag 1, uden nedbrud overhovedet...
Wednesday, June 8, 2005: After the tension of the last few days and having successively narrowed down the possible sources of errors in the Intel system, we now hope the situation will improve. At about 5:20 a.m. the system restarted and the benchmarks were restarted at around 10 a.m. But in the end a significant error was later identified in the afternoon: the fan of the Intel boxed cooler was running too slowly, allowing the CPU to heat up to 89 degrees Celsius. The cooler was included in Intel's D955X motherboard kit - specially developed for dual-core CPUs. Our measurement software and the Asus tool configured for the board both returned identical temperature readings. Both systems have now been running again problem-free since 7 pm - the AMD system not having shown any problems from the start. Læs mere her: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20050603/index.html
