Temperature high

[aignacio]

Hello everyone,

1 - I'm getting started to work with the Vocore this week and I'd note that when i plug into 5V power supply and logg with SSH, the temperature in the processor makes very high, it's normal to operate in high temperature or this is maybe a problem in my hardware?

2 - Does anybody test some web server in the open wrt like lighthttp or one of the followings http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/http.overview?

The vocore does run with a high temp, however its hard to say if yours is too high since we don't know what you're seeing.

I stuck a copper "ram chip" heat sink on mine.
It gets quite hot, unpleasant to touch but not sure on the exact temp.
I have also at times put a small 4cm fan (undervolted to 5v) over the chip/heatsink. The fan is undervolted too much to spin up on its own so needs a push start

The heat IS a problem.

About the http server, Vonger was working on vohttpd for a bit - http://vonger.cn/?p=1684

The heat is normal, mine only gets about 100*F now because the heat sync is massive. It seems to be more energy efficient when it runs cooler too

I can confirm that cooler chips are more energy-efficent - this is not a myth, it is called physics

Makes me wonder if my Heatsink is enough now!
Still, it's firmly attached so too late now.
