4 Hello everybody,
5
6 I own a Turion64 X2 1.8Ghz and I have my k8 sensor module for getting CPU temperatures.
7 I wanna ask if these temperatures looks OK to you.
8
9 Temperatures while compiling stuff with both cores @ 1.8Ghz and 100% usage:
10 # cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3/temp1_input
11 67000
12 # cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3/temp3_input
13 73000
14
15 Temperatures while idle:
16 # cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3/temp1_input
17 46000
18 # cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3/temp3_input
19 53000

21 This is a laptop with a tiny fan and 53º C while processor is idle is understandable since cooler is on passive mode
22 most of time. But 73º C looks way too much for me.
23
24 Also my ACPI doesn't provide me any thermal information and doing so I have no
25 processor trip_points to get system rebooted or processor throttled if temperature is too high.
26
27 Also when booting linux I get this:
28 ACPI Exception (thermal-0311): AE_BUFFER_OVERFLOW, No critical threshold [20070126]
29
30 I made a simple daemon to scale cpu frequency in case temperature exceeds a predefined threshold.
31 Although my question is if these temperatures looks correct and I should trust them.
32
33 My room temperature is 21º C.

47 of people in the world named Mohammad Chang?
