I looked and got:- CPU 39C and MB 33C, which is much the same as when Boinc is running Sensors gives:- k8temp-i2c--5-c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: 37.00 (temp1) Core1 Temp: 38.00 (temp3) it8716-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter VCore: 0.98 (in0) in0_min: 0.00 (in0_min) in0_max: 4.08 (in0_max) VDDR: 3.25 (in1) in1_min: 0.00 (in1_min) in1_max: 4.08 (in1_max) +3.3V: 0.00 (in2) in2_min: 0.00 (in2_min) in2_max: 4.08 (in2_max) +5V: 4.84 (in3) in3_min: 0.00 (in3_min) in3_max: 6.85 (in3_max) +12V: 11.58 (in4) in4_min: 0.00 (in4_min) in4_max: 16.32 (in4_max) in5: 0.00 (in5) in5_min: 0.00 (in5_min) in5_max: 4.08 (in5_max) in6: 0.00 (in6) in6_min: 0.00 (in6_min) in6_max: 4.08 (in6_max) 5VSB: 4.87 (in7) in7_min: 0.00 (in7_min) in7_max: 6.85 (in7_max) VBat: 2.98 (in8) fan1: 1683.00 (fan1) fan1_min: 0.00 (fan1_min) ERROR: Can't get feature `fan1_div' data! fan2: 0.00 (fan2) fan2_min: 0.00 (fan2_min) ERROR: Can't get feature `fan2_div' data! fan3: 890.00 (fan3) fan3_min: 0.00 (fan3_min) ERROR: Can't get feature `fan3_div' data! temp1: 35.00 (temp1) temp1_low: -1.00 (temp1_low) temp1_over: 127.00 (temp1_over) temp2: 33.00 (temp2) temp2_low: -1.00 (temp2_low) temp2_over: 127.00 (temp2_over) temp3: 3.00 (temp3) temp3_low: -1.00 (temp3_low) temp3_over: 127.00 (temp3_over) vid: 1.10 (vid) alarms: 25600.00 (alarms) sensor1: 3.00 (sensor1) sensor2: 2.00 (sensor2) sensor3: 2.00 (sensor3) I don't know why I get the fan div error, there is set fan1_div 4 etc., in sensors.conf. Maybe I have the syntax wrong. I'm not sure the voltages are reported correctly, but I don't know anything about MB voltages BIOS says Vcore is 1.34v; 3.3v is 3.43v; 5v is 5.18v and 12v is 12.43v - Richard -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/
