Temperature thresholding?

[Pretender]

I see the option in the dnet client to pause if the temperature threshold is exceeded, however, where do you set the actual temperature threshold? My problem is that my overclocked processor seems to get a little too toasty at times with dnet running and if it's a choice between having to buy another processor or cracking, well, I'm not exactly rich.

Once you enable the 8) Pause if processor temperature thresholds are exceeded? ==> no to "yes," an option will appear where you can set the temperature at which to pause and resume. So you will have something like this:

8) Pause if processor temperature thresholds are exceeded? ==> yes
9) Processor temperature threshold(s) ==> 60C:45C

Thanks 🙂 Consider my 866 mhz part of the squad 🙂

"Cool!" 🙂

<< Illegal values, for instance a 'low' that is not less than 'high', will

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I entered a valid pair (55C:62C), so I'm guessing that means my platform cannot do processor checking (?!?). PIII/P3V4X/Win98...I don't get it.

I can't remember where I read it, but I believe temperature checking only works on Macs. And I do know it does work on some Macs from the changes.txt file:

<< macos: temp. sensing support for single CPU G3 and G4 Macs >>

He's right, it's only availible on MacOS according to the client.

Maybe another way : you could check if Motherboard Monitor works with your mobo (it should). I reckon it can issue a command when an alarm is triggered. Have it to execute &quot;dnetc - pause&quot;. I dunnow if it can restart the client whe the alert is gone, though.

Motherboard Monitor will run a program when it exceeds a temperature, but it doesn't run another when the temp is back in specification. Is that a problem? Probably not, since the only reason the temperature is too high is because something is wrong.
