Hi Len,

sure, the apps I am using for reading out the processor's temp via
coretemp are / were:
lm_sensors: version 2.10.4, 2.10.6 and (currently) 3.0.1: all report
the same (higher) temperatures (compared to 2.6.24 series)

CONFIG_THERMAL currently is enabled in the kernel:
grep CONFIG_THERMAL /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_THERMAL=y

I'll recompile the kernel now & let you know the effect in a few hours
(currently I'm working on the box)

"Dairinin" on forums.gentoo.org pointed out that the desktop-cpu
simply might not be identified correctly:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5065902.html#5065902

"Thats because new kernel (lm_sensors, etc?, etc?)incorrectly thinks
our cpu's Tj is 100C, whereas for all core 2 duo's it is 85C (100C is
for C0 stepping and above, AFAIK). Substract 15 and you'll get real
temps."

I don't know if that's the case but it sounds plausible to me

thanks everyone for your answer & help so far

Regards

Mat
