My dmesg has this: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (39 C) |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
and then there's |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
acpitool- a Linux ACPI client, allowing you to query or set ACPI values |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Running 'acpitool -t' returns: |
| 10 |
Thermal zone 1 : ok, 61 C |
| 11 |
Trip points : |
| 12 |
------------- |
| 13 |
critical (S5): 100 C |
