Perhaps they can tell us something, not to? no.. /sys/bus/i2c I was highly sceptical that these values were wrong.. but if I was to shut down and immediately look at the BIOS values.. they are close enough to make the values I'm quoting to be on the mark. Of course, the BIOS values could be wrong. I had the normal Athlon cooler and one rear case fan and it was maxing out at around 50C. Putting on the Zalman cooler dropped it by 10C. Adding in the rear fans means it never goes above 39C while compiling. If the windows open and theres a draft through the room and cold outside.. :) ..it will idle at 29ish.
