OK, you made an observation. But that doesn't make it a rule. In fact, |
| 10 |
it may be a theory, but never a definite rule. And theories can only be |
| 11 |
proved wrong, not true, so your observations are of statistical value |
| 12 |
only. |

Obviously, your observation is correct if the air flow in the case is |
| 15 |
optimal. Then, all parts with proper cooling will have almost the same |
| 16 |
temperature. However, if the air flow is broken, or some parts are not |
| 17 |
cooled like they should -- your assumption might soon be invalid. If |
| 18 |
you want to explicitly test that theory, just dismount your CPU fan. |
| 19 |
This exercise will maybe cost one CPU, though :-) |

So, first check if you get sensors up and running on that machine. In |
| 22 |
addition to lmsensors, there's also the ACPI temperature zone, if |
| 23 |
supported. |
