| EriC^^ | hey TJ- | 10:07 |
| EriC^^ | i just installed win10 | 10:07 |
| EriC^^ | it's running super hot though fan is on full speed | 10:07 |
| TJ- | Was it a joy ? | 10:07 |
| EriC^^ | well not really, it is supposed to pick up the key from the bios, it asked for it during the install and it wouldn't accept it | 10:07 |
| EriC^^ | it looks decent enough though, but i can't use it, the fan turns on all the way and temps are 90+ | 10:08 |
| TJ- | Does the PC use non-standard interfaces to the thermal monitor and fan control? If so, the OS likely requires system/mobo specific driver intelligence | 10:08 |
| EriC^^ | i think it was actually heating up | 10:08 |
| EriC^^ | not just the fan, cause i got into ubuntu and the temps were 90+ then it started coolign down and fans turned off | 10:09 |
| TJ- | That sounds like an ACPI issue, with the CPU not being put into temporary sleep C3 mode when idle | 10:09 |
| EriC^^ | cpu usage is normal though in task manager, but it said the disk usage was 99% even though there wasn't much below | 10:09 |
| TJ- | I was about about to say run powertop on it... silly me, it's Windows :D | 10:10 |
| EriC^^ | :D | 10:10 |
| TJ- | I'd think the requirement is for the mobo/system specific drivers... maybe there are some for Win 8.x or even win 7 that might work | 10:10 |
| TJ- | I know AMD used to provide their own chipset specific packages too, that's another possibility | 10:11 |
| EriC^^ | i see | 10:11 |
| wileee | upgraded to W10 couple of days ago runs cool and well. | 10:12 |
| TJ- | It certainly sounds like the CPU isn't going into C3 sleep when idle | 10:12 |
| EriC^^ | hp site says it should upgrade to win10 fine *shrug* | 10:12 |
| TJ- | It could also be that it isn't frequency-scaling too | 10:12 |
| EriC^^ | it started during the install TJ- , in case that matters | 10:14 |
| EriC^^ | half way through the install the fan went bazerk and stayed that way | 10:14 |
| wileee | time for water cooling, heh | 10:14 |
| EriC^^ | lol | 10:15 |
| EriC^^ | it's an i7 btw | 10:15 |
| TJ- | EriC^^: According to superuser.com the system might have this tool: "powercfg -energy" | 10:15 |
| EriC^^ | bought in 2014 | 10:15 |
| wileee | I read earlier that setting up a water cooler is half way between running linux and speaking klingon | 10:15 |
| TJ- | See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748940%28v=ws.10%29.aspx | 10:16 |
| TJ- | Water coolers are fine if there are no leaks... I'd rather use mineral oil in it though | 10:16 |
| wileee | I was just curious how it's done, to much slack time here | 10:17 |
| EriC^^ | :D | 10:17 |
| EriC^^ | ill brb | 10:17 |
| TJ- | wileee: coolers are great in principle but the problem is often the bulkiness of the fittings and pipework. For many mobos and cases there isn't a lot of room to begin with and the radius of turns of the pipes makes for difficulties in finding a comfortable fit | 10:23 |
| EriC^^_ | hey TJ- | 10:43 |
| EriC^^_ | i was setting up the tethering thing for the internet | 10:43 |
| EriC^^ | hi TJ- i had to boot into ubuntu, temps were reaching 102'c | 10:49 |
| TJ- | ouch | 10:50 |
| EriC^^ | TJ-: http://explosive.bshellz.net/energy-report.html | 10:52 |
| EriC^^ | that's the report the command gave | 10:52 |
| EriC^^ | it mentions some acpi and driver errors | 10:52 |
| EriC^^ | i really like win10, this sucks | 10:55 |
| EriC^^ | could it be i need to download the amd graphics driver? | 10:56 |
| EriC^^ | hey daftykins | 20:34 |
| daftykins | o/ | 20:34 |
| daftykins | greetings | 20:34 |
| EriC^^ | o/ | 20:35 |
| EriC^^ | did you get win10 activated? | 20:35 |
| daftykins | yeah it was fine when i powered on on the 30th, their activation servers were just getting hammered on release day :D | 20:35 |
| EriC^^ | oh ok cool | 20:36 |
| EriC^^ | i installed it, but it didn't accept my key | 20:36 |
| wileee | mine was a couple days later with no key issues | 20:36 |
| daftykins | EriC^^: which key was that? | 20:36 |
| EriC^^ | i read that you have to upgrade for it to work | 20:36 |
| daftykins | you have to do an upgrade atop 7 or 8 to convert your existing sadly | 20:36 |
| EriC^^ | the key i pulled out from the bios for win8 | 20:36 |
| daftykins | ah yes that won't go in, you'll have to install 8 then upgrade | 20:37 |
| EriC^^ | there's a rumor that if you upgrade you can then fresh install, dunno though | 20:37 |
| daftykins | yep i did clean installs immediately after | 20:37 |
| EriC^^ | anyways it was overheating like crazy, temps at 100'c | 20:37 |
| daftykins | works a treat :) just skip the key entry pages and it works out fine | 20:37 |
| daftykins | o0 CPU? | 20:38 |
| wileee | you can with a double install and the correct key, looks like an upgrade, or in W7 and 8 you could do a config tweak | 20:38 |
| OerHeks | like this EriC^^ ? http://imgur.com/gallery/PbiZ6ok | 20:38 |
| OerHeks | :-D | 20:38 |
| EriC^^ | lol | 20:38 |
| EriC^^ | i tried setting the amd driver to battery saving, it lowered the temps to 80-90 | 20:40 |
| EriC^^ | TJ- had me run a command for energy it gave this report http://explosive.bshellz.net/energy-report.html | 20:41 |
| EriC^^ | most of them went away after upgrading drivers except for the last 3 or so | 20:41 |
| wileee | EriC^^, just as a reference, http://winsupersite.com/article/windows-7/clean-install-windows-7-with-upgrade-media-128512 | 20:41 |
| EriC^^ | anyways i reinstalled win8 cause you can't customize it without activating it and stuff so i'll try upgrading this time | 20:42 |
| TJ- | EriC^^: Impressive! "Average Utilization (%) 4572646.00" | 20:42 |
| EriC^^ | lol | 20:43 |
| wileee | I did use a W10 iso for my upgrade, had to do some cleanup to get there, downloaded it while scrubbing the os | 20:44 |
| TJ- | I found out today from Nvidia engineers that the typical operating temperature at idle for the Quadro NVS420 is 45C ... it's been running at 70C+ for a while and needing manual fan-control intervention. | 20:44 |
| EriC^^ | learned some dos commands today :> | 20:44 |
| daftykins | not just bad TIM or blocked fans? | 20:45 |
| TJ- | So the workbench now has the RasPi+LCD+RF signal detector, laptop + mini-PCIe SSD testbed, the PCBs out of the failed CDU, the NVS420 with heatsink stripped off ... anyone want to take on some of my projects!? | 20:46 |
| TJ- | daftykins: No... I'd previously replaced the thermal pastes with no improvement. The problem I had was Nvidia didn't publish the typical/max operating temps so I had to chase them down with their engineers | 20:47 |
| TJ- | I've got some copper shims arriving tomorrow, which should help. The heatsinks don't have great mating with the heat sources, especially for the RAM ICs | 20:50 |
| OerHeks | pom pom pom | 21:43 |
