Not a groundbreaking piece of news, but I can confirm that the original PSU fan of the O2
can be easily replaced by a practically noiseless Noctua NF-R8-1800 fan.

Fan specs: Noctua NF-R8-1800, 1800 rpm, 53 m3/h, 17 dB(A), 80x80x25 mm

Noctua website:

This type of fan is widespread in PC computer shops (at least in Hungary), that's why I am writing this post.

The fan works very well in a 200 MHz R5k O2 with a single 18 GB r10k SCSI drive and an AV card.
I operated my blue toaster at full CPU load for hours without having any trouble.

One can sleep 4 meters away from the running O2, only the HDD is whispering when getting closer.

Cheers,

Zsolt

Wrote on the subject of Tight VNC refuses connections after starting an application at Jan. 23, 2013, 3:44 p.m...

Hello,

I installed Neko Tight VNC on my Octane (IRIX 6.5.30)
I set up the password, and the ./vnc/xstartup file as suggested in forum posts,
and then started the VNC server.

Using the Chicken VNC viewer (OSX PPC Mac) I can connect to the Octane, everything looks fine,
the IRIX desktop appears on the screen of the Mac.

The problem is that whenever I try to open an application using the toolchest using the VNC viewer,
the VNC server breaks the connection, and refuses reconnecting.

I can reconnect only when stopping and restarting the VNC server, but then the same thing happens again.

What can be the reason for this?

I am a newbie to VNC, thanks for your help,

Zsolt

O.K., the description of the problem may be fuzzy.
The main point is that the server kicks out the client soon after logging in.
Can it be a problem if the client software (Chicken VNC) is brand new, but the server software is somewhat older (Neko Tight VNC).
Anybody has good suggestions for an xstartup file?
Chicken VNC has eight encoding options.
Is it enough if I choose just "tight" for TightVNC?
Any general advice is welcome...

Thanks! I am going to try Jollys fast VNC!
Surely the communication between the server and the viewer software is erratic.
Breaking of the connection has not much to do with running applications on the host.
