Hi :-) I'm hoping somebody here can enlighten me. I'm running OpenSUSE 10.3 on an Acer Travelmate laptop with an Intel Core Duo 1.6GHz processor. I finally figured out how to get lmsensors running and configured so that I could get my hdd temps showing up in gkrellm. I'm confused about something though .... Prior to getting this working GKrellM showed under CPU temp: thermal_zone/TZ00 thermal_zone/TZ01 with corresponding temps (dual core processor) Since fixing lmsensors however it now shows two extra entries: coretemp-hwmon0/temp1 coretemp-hwmon1/temp1 Also with corresponding temp readings. BUT the readings are not the same. The coretemp readings are several degrees lower than the thermal_zone readings, and the two cores are often showing different temps, whereas in the thermal_zone readings, the cores are nearly always showing the same temp. I'm assuming the coretemps are what is being detected by lmsensors, so what is reading the thermal_zone temps? Which readings are likely to be the most accurate ones i.e. the ones I should take notice of? EDIT: Just as an example ... right now the thermal_zone reading is showing temps of 51 and 51. The coretemp reading is showing 45 and 41. That's a significant difference when it comes to knowing when to be concerned about a particular temp. If anyone can explain to me what the difference is between the thermal_zone readings and the coretemp readings, and which of the two is considered more accurate/reliable, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance, ~ Carren
