Are you using any sort of frequency scaling? On my socket 939 3500+, |
| 13 |
when the CPU is running at full speed it stays around that temperature |
| 14 |
range, and doesn't really increase much when compiling either. The |
| 15 |
other temp sensor stays around 35-38C. |

You might look into cpu frequency scaling using the ondemand governor. |

I use that here, and right now with my CPU running at 1GHz the temp is |
| 19 |
floating right 38C (and if I open the windows at night it drops to |
| 20 |
35ish), and the other sensor is reporting 31C. |

I'm using a Soltek K8T939 or some such (VIA based), by the way. |
