Thanks... but! [adam@gremlin /home/adam]$ mbmon No Hardware Monitor found!! InitMBInfo: Unknown error: 0 lmmon detects '255C' and so I'm guessing it's not reading values correctly. [adam@gremlin /home/adam]# sysctl !$ sysctl hw.acpi.thermal hw.acpi.thermal.min_runtime: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 10 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 3240 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.thermal_flags: 0 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._PSV: 3630 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._HOT: -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT: 3680 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: 3130 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 I'm not sure that any of these values are of much help! Anyone have any further ideas? :) -- Adam Smith Internode : http://www.internode.on.net Phone : (08) 8228 2999
