12 That seems quite high to me. With an uptime of a shade under 17 days,
13 during normal use and with SETI@home running since 11.5 CPU-days (says
14 top), /proc/acpi reports 49 degrees Celsius at the CPU. My system,
15 built around an Athlon 64 3000+, has a critical trip (shutdown)
16 temperature of 70 C and I have never hit that level. I have not
17 checked the CPU temperature during lengthy compilations however, but
18 considering that CPU utilization stays close to 100% due to SETI@home,
19 it is probably about the same.
20
21 I would consider anything above 60 C as certainly out of the ordinary
22 and worth investigating.
23
24 Does the motherboard BIOS setup show the same temperature as Linux?
