You see 43°C right now but it was 95°C in the first output you sent and most likely it changes with every reboot. The "right value" is difficult to tell. You can check the recommended maximum operating temperature in the manual as a hint. But it also depends where the sensors is. If it's monitoring a chipset (south bridge or north bridge for example) or if it is under the CPU socket, then it's expected that it will be relatively hot. If it is measuring the ambient temperature, it should not be so hot. A practical approach is to consider that your system is doing fine at the moment and set the temperature limit a little higher than the current input value. So if temp1 is stable at 43°C, you could set temp1_max to 50 and temp1_max_hyst to 48. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
