Hi
The core on my laptop seems to be overheating without any effort at all, and I also can't get detection of my cpu temperature.
I've been much more concerned about monitoring this since I installed a new hard drive. My previous one died after just
two years, which I suspect was because of permanent damage I must have done when I did some transcoding when I first bought my laptop. I also have these colourled lines down the side of my screen since exactly the same time, also heat damage(?)
Anyway, I installed lm-sensors, added k8temp to /etc/modules as suggested by sensors-detect and installed hddtemp. All of this info I just randomly stumbled upon, so this is no indication of any experience temp monitoring.
1) My cpu temp monitor is not picking up
anything.
gnome-sensor and cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature just read:
I would like to know what temp my cpu is!!! What can I do? The module k8temp is loaded
Quote:
lsmod | grep k8temp
k8temp 7680 0
|
but it doesn't do anything :-(((
2) My Core0 temp is rarely below 49 C (hovers around 50 C at rest, and all I have to do is say open a few tabs in firefox and open a youtube video and it's spiked past 60 C, when I get a warning message from gnome-sensors applet. Is 60 C the reasonable upper limit?
My hard drive just stays level at around 40 C - is hddtemp detecting this incorrectly?
example "sensors" output:
Quote:
user@home:~$ sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp: +51.0°C

Just now I opened appearance settings to turn off aiglx effects and it was staying at 66C while I had the window open! Here is the output of a script that polled core temp with the sensors command every 2 seconds while I had a 3D game open:

I am very
very concerned about this! I just spent money from limited means on a new hard drive (see above) and I really can't afford for my laptop to break. Why is my core running so hot? Does the fan need to be more aggressive? (Always a...) Newb question: and just what does it mean by my "core"? (my motherboard?) Why is my cpu temp not being recorded?
How can I fix these problems????!!!!!
thank you
