The BIOS is not idle - at least never as idle as Linux can be with CPU frequency and voltage scaling and low C states. > lm-sensors: > temp1: +34.0 C (low = +127.0 C, high = +127.0 C) sensor = thermistor > temp2: +31.0 C (low = +127.0 C, high = +127.0 C) sensor = thermistor > temp3: +25.0 C (low = +127.0 C, high = +127.0 C) sensor = thermistor > > > And when i for example compile firefox temp3 will rise to around 45-50 C, while temp2 stays at 31 C. This is correct reasoning though. temp3 is CPU temp. But you're comparing Linux idle with BIOS not idle, no surprise the values don't match. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
