Please, note that actual value returned is in the 1/10th of the degree of Kelvin. Function KELV above has following ASL code associated with it: Method (KELV, 1, NotSerialized) { Store (Arg0, Local1) Multiply (0x0A, Local1, Local1) Add (Local1, 0x0AAC, Local1) Return (Local1) } Thermal management chapter of the ACPI specification should provide you with ample explanation of what this is all about.
