Hi Jonway,

Below is the attached output from supermicro server when immediately run the command after booted to OS for your reference.

But after OS booted later on the output is different.

    I think this further confirmed that you dont have enough airflow.

    When you first booted into OS, the card is still working but very near to shutdown temperature.

    (12) FPGA Die Temperature : 96.50 Celsius

    After a while, when the temperature exceed 100C, it will shutdown, and you wont get any reading.

    The card is fine and working as expected. The problem is that you dont have enough airflow to the card. You will need to check with the server vendor on how to improve airflow to the pcie slots devices.
