Are there any BIOS settings (thermal management) that you can play around with? Try different thermal management settings and rerun cpuid and check if the thermal monitors show up as 'true'. I have a cpuid dump from Sergio (C7 on a LN10000 board) and the only difference between his dump and yours is that his shows 'true' for both thermal monitors. Maybe your BIOS disables these features on your CPU. ...juerg On Fri, Jul 4, 2008 at 12:07 AM, Jean Delvare <khali at linux-fr.org> wrote: > On Thu, 3 Jul 2008 07:39:24 +0200, Wilken Gottwalt wrote: >> Am Mittwoch 02 Juli 2008 20:22:57 schrieb Juerg Haefliger: >> > Hi Jean, Wilken, >> > >> > Thanks for testing the driver.
