I even think 2-3 more of them could be useful for different testing topologies as we discussed. Next time though, I won’t futz around when attaching the heat spreader, just fix the thermal adhesive, mount it to the board straight away and be careful not to twist anything. First attempt: apu2a. Got it right: apu2b. The second box is consistently 5C cooler, though both are well within spec, usually under 65C under full load.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">sysadmin@apu2a:~$ sensors<br class="">k10temp-pci-00c3<br class="">temp1: +52.4°C (high = +70.0°C)<br class=""> (crit = +105.0°C, hyst = +104.0°C)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">sysadmin@apu2b:~$ sensors<br class="">k10temp-pci-00c3<br class="">temp1: +46.6°C (high = +70.0°C)<br class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
