What metrics should be used to determine if Bedrock is thermally fine?
Monitor CPU die temperature in software.
Temperature should not exceed 100ºCMeasure enclosure temperature using a thermo-coupler or IR thermometer.
Temperature should not exceed ambient+40ºCMeasure power used by Bedrock.
If measuring AC “at the wall” assume power consumed by Bedrock is 90% of the measured value
Bedrock temperature above ambient is proportional to power
Notes:
To verify that Bedrock is assembled properly and does not have thermal conduction failures, check these guidelines
DeltaT die to enclosure should not exceed 20ºC
DeltaT between two sides of Bedrock should not exceed 15ºC
It is advised to limit CPU power in BIOS to the minimum power that meets performance goals, in order to reduce temperatures
All secondary devices (RAM, SSD, NICs, power FETs) are conduction cooled and are not expected to overheat
How do I check the CPU clocks?
To see the clocks of the CPU you can use the following command: lscpu -e=mhz
To probe continuously you can use the command: watch -n 0.5 lscpu -e=mhz
This command will probe the CPU clocks every 0.5 seconds; you can change the probing time as you wish.
