My setup is all in this thread (http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=33153.msg304994#msg304994), except for I have recently doubled the memory, installed a AMD Phenom II X45 945, and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.

 

I'm running unRAID 5.0.5, syslog is attached below.

 

My issue is that the system just goes completely unresponsive on occasion. I have left a SSH session with "tail -f /var/log/syslog" running, but nothing shows up. It simply disconnects me when everything goes unresponsive.

 

The strange thing about it going unresponsive too is that the console that I have plugged up to it dies too. The machine still has power and all lights, fans, etc continue to run. To restart the machine or power it down, I have to flip the switch on the PSU or unplug entirely. The front power/reset buttons will not work when this happens.

 

The server was only lasting about 20-45 minutes before it went unresponsive so I thought it may have been a cooling issue with my new CPU and that's when I purchased the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. Since installing this, the server has been better but it happened again earlier today (after the server being up over 12 hours)

 

 

EDIT: Thanks!! It was a heating issue!

What procedure did you use to remove / replace the heatsink? Details matter when you are dealing with CPU heat.

I removed the motherboard from the case and removed the old cpu/fan/hearsink and the back plate. I installed the new backplate on the back. I then installed the spacers and fan/heatsink on the front of the board. I used the thermal paste that was with the cooler master fan. It took me a while to get the clips lined up and to start tightening.

 

It would be great if I could see my cpu temps via CLI or web interface, but I haven't found anything that works yet.

Did you thoroughly clean the old paste off the cpu? I typically use rubbing alcohol, paper towels and q-tips to make sure everything is spotless before applying an extremely thin coating of new paste. I also try to do a test fit without any paste to make sure the heatsink is fitting square and flat against the cpu. Aftermarket heatsinks can be tricky to get right because of all the different mounting options.

 

You may be able to get a good temp reading by restarting the machine and going into the BIOS settings.

I did wipe the cpu well, but I didn't do a test fit. I'm going to power it down again tonight and see if I can clean it down again, use less paste and work hard to get a really tight fit.

 

The one time I got a CPU reading was when I booted the machine with no OS. It was at idol at 25C.

 

Let me try this stuff out tonight and I'll post back after stressing it a bit (with transcoding)
