I also tried a vanilla kernel & it showed the same higher temperature ;( here the last mail (on lkml it was corrupted) - I don't know if youwere able to read it > sure, I'll test-drive the vanilla-kernel, too>> thanks ok, tested the vanilla-kernel this morning and it shows the exact hightemperatures (with CONFIG_THERMAL=y) I've got a question: when trying to disable thermal it just sits there & won't change:<*> Hardware Monitoring support ---> -*- Generic Thermal sysfs driver ---> it seemingly depends on other things:Selected by: ACPI_THERMAL && !X86_VOYAGER && ACPI && ACPI_PROCESSOR is it safe to disable acpi_processor and acpi or CONFIG_THERMAL ingeneral ? or will it burn down my box ? ;) I'm asking this because it says/writes:CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL: │ │ │ │ This driver adds support for ACPI thermal zones.
