Hey what program gets those temp reading's under linux? I have an asus board and had a temp gauge program from asus running on it when it had windows on it.

I became convinced that I wasn't going to use Windows2k for anything on my new machine after seeing how hot my processors got in Win2k idle-mode. This is Linux when I'm using the system: SYS Temp: +39.00C (limit = +450C, hysteresis = +400C) CPU Temp: +36.30C (limit = +600C, hysteresis = +550C) SBr Temp: +25.00C (limit = +650C, hysteresis = +600C) Right after I rebooted from a 10 minute what-am-I-really-doing-here in windows the temperature was way above 50C. -- Thomas Eibner <http://thomas.eibner.dk/> DnsZone <http://dnszone.org/> mod_pointer <http://stderr.net/mod_pointer> _______________________________________________ tclug-list mailing list tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
