...specifically a Via Apollo Pro 133A (VT82C694X). Via's website doesn't include "real" datasheets for their chipsets, only cursory overviews of the supported features. And I'm waiting in vain for a Via rep to get back with me with the full datasheet.
Anyway, I work for a small systems developer and we have some machines out in the field that are experiencing lockups which appear to be related to extreme temperatures. I set up a test machine with thermocouples on all heat-generating components and the primary chipset is the only component getting hot enough to become a potential problem. Assuming an ambient temperature of 95°F, the chipset operates at around 165-170°F (approx 74-77°C). Seems kinda high to me, but I did find one document covering a chipset which suggested an "alarm" level of 175°F, so maybe it isn't that far-fetched.
Can anyone help?
Best regards,
Floyd
