Is this TOO cold?

Is this TOO cold for cpu temps?

[root@borg scripts]# sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:      +21.0C  (high = +82.0C, crit = +100.0C)  

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1:      +10.0C  (high = +82.0C, crit = +100.0C)  

coretemp-isa-0002
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 2:      +21.0C  (high = +82.0C, crit = +100.0C)  

coretemp-isa-0003
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 3:      +16.0C  (high = +82.0C, crit = +100.0C)

That's my main server right now. It's in my basement and I hardly heat downthere since it's unfinished and uninsulated so it's kinda a waste of heat. I just have one damper open for the whole basement.

Core 1 kinda scares me. I'm more concerned on if I ever need to power down for an extended period then power back up.

Actually that's the other thing, should I even rely on those sensors? I find it odd that #1 is way off compared to the other cores. I would expect them to be 1 degree of difference if that.

For a processor that's not a problem temperature, not even close. I would be concerned about the hard drives though.

Oh right HDDs tend to be a bit more sensitive to cold. I think I'm doing ok though:

[root@borg scripts]# smartctl -a /dev/sdb | grep -i temperature
194 Temperature_Celsius     0x0002   214   214   000    Old_age   Always       -       28 (Lifetime Min/Max 16/48)
[root@borg scripts]# smartctl -a /dev/sdc | grep -i temperature
194 Temperature_Celsius     0x0002   214   214   000    Old_age   Always       -       28 (Lifetime Min/Max 16/48)
[root@borg scripts]# smartctl -a /dev/sdd | grep -i temperature
194 Temperature_Celsius     0x0002   222   222   000    Old_age   Always       -       27 (Lifetime Min/Max 16/47)
[root@borg scripts]# smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep -i temperature
190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022   075   060   045    Old_age   Always       -       25 (Lifetime Min/Max 19/40)
194 Temperature_Celsius     0x0022   025   040   000    Old_age   Always       -       25 (0 19 0 0)
[root@borg scripts]#

First 3 drives are part of a raid 5 and the last entry is the OS drive.

Redsquirrel your asking us if its too cold in a cpu and overclocking section?

You mean to rephrase... can i go more in my OC?

😛

Careful about your HDDs. The bearings are not happy being too cold.
I had a system by a window that was left open during winter a couple of years back. HDD quit working until I thawed it 😛

Haha good point. When I saw those temps I actually thought "oooo I can overclock this like mad!" but I rather not overclock a server LOL. Then again I'm sure it's already been done many times. I should probably put F@H on it though.
