Le dernier mois et demi, Millénium, problèmes avec Aki (80C), virus au bureau?
// July 10th, 2009 // Mortis
I always want to write in the blog, but not much have change, just the daily routine, trying to eat well, losing weight, work, wow, sleep, rince and repeat. I will try to write everyday for summer vacations, the vacations always been so important for us, wanting to have some memories of it, because it was a long time before seeing each other again.
Life without Hinote is quite different in T. Her stuff is all over in the appart and seeing Purple off doesn’t feel right. Having all the bandwidth for me also.
I’m in the trip preparations now. Errands almost every nights, trying to find summer clothes,etc. Lot of shops here, but most of the clothes gone. Got a FZ-28, a new superzoom camera. it seem to take great pics, but i didn’t test outside much, no park close, etc
The 2 months at work have been quite intense. June always one of the toughest, and everyone feel burned out. I’m not sure if a virus, allergies but everyone feel so tired, spending weekend to sleep, no energy or motivations. It was quite strange to have everyone say the same thing. I dont have kids, so if i decide to take a nap sunday afternoon, so be it. But the lack of motivations to do anything was annoying.
Normal, you get all excited for vacations. It will be a great one. Maybe its because the weather felt more like spring , grey and colder, but my mind still doesn’t realize that in one week, I have a a big trip.
Aki was giving me problems. Bleeding edge technologies, but she can be stable or unstable depending to her mood. I wake up in the morning and the computer is off. Happened also while encoding certains videos. It was not happpening often, so I supposed a bug or codec issues with the files trying to encode. But it got worst last friday night, differents files, etc.
Before going shopping saturday I decide to check the cpu tempeature. the computer was at IDLE for a while. The appart is quite cold, around 68F with the airconditionning. I remembered last summer, with no air con, how tough it was , all the fan at max for the computer. I didnt expect much. When i checked, it was 73Cm when it should be 30C. While doing a quick encoding it was going over 80. So i guess the board was turning the computer off so the processor survived. The motherboard temperature was good tho, around 23C, so the cooling in the case is quite good.
I decided to turn it off and check when back from errands. I opened the case and the intel stock cooling was a block of dust. I cleared all the dust. I decide to be sure the remove the heatsink to see. The thermal paste was completely gone on most of the cpu. Arctic silver melting is a first. I ran to get paper towel, and cleaned the cpu and fan with alchool after. I had some arctic silver left, so i reput some on the processor and heatsink, and reinstall it. Temperature back at 30C, encoding at 48C-50C. I tried to do a small overclock, 2750 mhz, but it was unstable. I need to get a real cooler that fit with the new striker and i will try again. Maybe a new project for the last week of vacation. It’ suppose to got at 3.0ghz easy. I’m glad I found the source of the problems tho, i could have a burned cpu. It seem the machine could support 5 hours of raiding tho.
Cleaning this weekend, more errants, got the shorts, I need shirts, shoes, etc
