I guess you mean i8k, not hddtemp. And yes, I agree, see my warning in a previous reply. If/when you have a good configuration file for your system, please share it and I'll put it on the wiki. > Are you planning on any further changes?

The monitoring part should be as good as we can get already, so I don't expect any change that would cause incompatibilities in the configuration file. BTW, you can test your configuration file with "sensors -c" first, and only copy it to /etc/sensors.d/ when you're happy with the results. This avoids doing the tuning work as root. > Thanks a bundle! You're welcome.
