Sun PCi II and Chip Temperature and Fan Speed

Dear All,

I have just installed a Sun PCi II card and am running it under Solaris 10 all seems to be working fine.

Looking at the environmental stuff in the BIOS revealed that the CPU Temperature is 94*C and the CPU Fan Speed is 0 RPM. Should I be worried ?

Do you think the fan has failed or is it just a bogus report. I would have thought if the chip got that hot the system would shutdown.

Thanks in advance,

Hugh

Getting exactly the same CPU temperature and fan speed in a SunPCI II just installed in a Sun Blade 2000. Also noticed that the BIOS PC Health Status Page reports a Shutdown Temperature of 60 *C, i.e. the reported CPU Temperature is above the Shutdown Temperature but the system is still runing...

Not sure if the "micro cooler" device fitted over the CPU has a fan, or uses some other cooling technique.
