How can I check that I'm not frying the chipset on my 945 gclf?
- by Journeyman Geek
I'm running an old 945 gclf as a home server. Its an odd little system which has a passively cooled single core atom 230 processor, and a small heatsink/fan combo over the chipset.
lm-sensors/sensors detects one temperature sensor which I guess is the processor.
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +38.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
The fan on it is making rather horrible noises and I am considering unplugging it or using a speed reducer. There's also a risk it may fail anyway.
Is there any way I can monitor the temperatures of the chipset or be warned of any issues with it? Is there anything specific I can watch out for that would indicate trouble?
