kudzu Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hi, is my Cubieboard is damaged? Couple days ago my server was suddenly turned off. When I checked, it turned out, that the Allwinner is very hot. So I added a radiator and run the Cubie with serial console. Seems like everything is ok, but temperature... almost 50*C. log_15082016_2.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Prefect Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi Adding a radiator to any thing electronic is never a bad idea. 50°C is not hot and as far as H3 is concerned I noticed that the internal temperature sensors are often 10 degrees above the temperature of a (too) big external radiator. They also react very quickly but the radiator has much more inertia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudzu Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thx for reply. IMO it is not normal. The Cubieboard was working as a home server since a dozen months without radiator. I also ran a few stress tests at those time. Now it is hot (and probably take large current) without any load. To the trash... I wonder if A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 will be good replacement :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The projector runs louder, I'd stuffed 6 drives in a 4 drive NAS which was fine for months but suddenly the drives were overheating and throttling reducing performance to about 10% of normal. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudzu Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Don't know where in the world you are Poland - here it is summer too and now I've got 27,8*C at home:) But after few tests now A10 takes so much current, that 3.3 voltage regulator is also hot (CPU very fast despite the radiator) - the system don't get up. My Cubieboard is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
