Hi >> Example sensors output: >> k8temp-pci-00c3 >> Adapter: PCI adapter >> Core0 Temp: +54.0°C > > 54 degrees is fine. It would be if that was the highest it went...! I put that up as an example of the temperature I'm getting with the max cpu frequency set to less than half speed *and* without any cpu load!! Even browsing flash web pages at normal cpu frequency ranges can make it shoot up to 60 C. If I try running a 3D game the on-die temp can go above 70 C, some outputs I recorded: Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +68.0°C Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +69.0°C Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +69.0°C Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +68.0°C Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +69.0°C Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +70.0°C Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +69.0°C If I try unloading k8temp I get no sensor readings at all (except hddtemp). None other are running to the best of my knowledge - see lsmod output below. As the owner of a valid XP licence I tried booting into windows to see if had the same problem. I ran swiftfan (popular windows sensor utility) it only detected the core and the hdd temp there too - no detection of an internal CPU temperature on windows either!!! Surely there must be a sensor - how else would the BIOS control the fan? Incidentally, the problem was just as on windows too, except because the user has no control over cpu frequency core0 temperature was hovering around ~63 C... I think there's a 100,000 character limit on this list? I've attached acpidump output as requested, as a .tar.gz .
