[gmx-users] Athlon cluster experience

[Lynne E. Bilston]

Justin,

My dual Athlon cluster is about 10 months old (dual 1800MP processors on a 
tyan MB). lm_sensors gives a temperature of about 49-55 degrees C when 
running both processors on a job. Idling is about 42-45C. Yours do seem a 
bit hot by those standards.

I did initially have some problems with jobs quitting due to overheating. 
It turned out our AC system was being switched off at night. IHow warm is 
the room your cluster is in?

Let me know if you want more info on my lm_sensors setup or output.
