we don't support the 87365. we would need the output of 'sensors' (before and after running 'sensors -s') and the contents of /etc/sensors.conf to see what the problem is with setting the limits on the xeons. mds David_Papasan at Dell.com wrote: > > We have a user running LM_Sensors under Linux 7.1 that is > experiencing thermal shutdowns at normal temperatures.
