Well I was all excited to get the now famously running terraminer off of the extension cords and into a more permanent location tonight but upon relocating the unit a couple chips decided they wanted to be hot again. I'm contemplating the possibility of faulty temp sensors. I was gentle when moving the unit and most of the cores are still reading great temps. It's not out of line but definitely hotter than I would like. I have the unit in a (near) freezing cold environment so it should hold until the LiquidPro arrives later this week (hopefully). Another interesting thing I have noticed is that the temps start off really high and then settle down significantly lower after running for a few minutes. Do the rest of you experience this behavior when mining starts?

Another interesting thing, the machine with the resurrected battery-shorted board was running 20C hotter last night than it is running today. I'm not complaining but I really wish I could understand the wild fluctuations in cooling performance (or supposed cooling performance if the sensors can be trusted)

More to follow after the LiquidPro treatment over the weekend.

Air in the cooling system maybe?
