I just replaced a CPU fan on a box which had been happily running FreeBSD for weeks at a time between reboots (prompted either by upgrades or by the USB hardware falling over, grr). In my case it never quite reached spontaneous reboots, but after a few days of running dnetc the cpu temperature would hit 70C and the motherboard would sound a rather unpleasant alarm. Period between alarm soundings quite quickly reduced to about a day as the fan bearings seized tighter, but the chip runs at 40 under load with the new one :) Matthew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
