| Re: sensors/temps question the ACPI is reporting some actual sensor reading, which (if it continues to track like you show there) is "coretemp2"
What sensor the ACPI uses is up to the bios folks.

| Re: sensors/temps question At the moment its reading:
coretemp-1
core 1 - 42C
coretemp-2
core 0 - 44C
ACPI
TZ01 51C
TZ00 51C
so no, it doesn't always track as it showed in my first post. Sometimes on of the coretemp readings happens to match one of the ACPI readings, but other times they don't. What does always seem to be the same are the two ACPI readings. | |

| Like you, I understand that the coretemp readings are taken from within each of dual cores in the CPU, while the ACPI readings are taken from sensors on the motherboard. My coretemps are usually lower than one of my two ACPI readouts (cores 35C, 34C, ACPI 39C 27C). This doesn't seem too odd to me, since the CPU has that big fan mounted directly on top.
If I max out both cores (two shells, each running yes>/dev/null), then the cores (56C 56C) are hotter than the ACPI temps (40C 43C). | |

| I don't have my PC with me, it's in the shop (don't remove your CPU and walk around barefoot on carpet), but yes I noticed the same thing it reports temp1 (CPU), temp2 (motherboard), core1 and core2.... Core1 and Core2 always seem to be lower than "CPU" temp. CPU temp seems to match up with what the BIOS says.
It's an AMD AM2 dualcore, if that matters.

Draper, UT | Re: sensors/temps question Sorry to hi-jack...
Where I can I find a decent priced PCI card that does temps (tethered to place on anything or just for case)??
* And is recognized by sensors-detect? | |
