That's OK. k10temp's temp1 _is_ the CPU temperature, no question about that. It's a digital sensor built inside the CPU. it87's temp1 must be connected to a thermistor under the CPU socket if it changes according to CPU load too. > > (...) > > No idea.

No, sorry. I mean that on some machines, you can visit the BIOS and if you then chose "discard changes and exit" it carries on with the boot process without restarting the machine. On such machines, the behavior under Linux can differ when you do that, if the BIOS does additional initialization steps when you visit it (e.g. hardware monitoring chip configuration when you go to the relevant page in the BIOS setup tool.) -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
