I had problems with one TZ on my laptop occasionally reporting nonsense values. I suspect it was actually a dry joint somewhere near the sensor. The MB eventually failed and the new MB is OK. We had a similar issue on a server at work - the vendor noticed that the system was reporting an abnormally high temperature in one zone whilst investigating an unrelated problem. We eventually decided it was a faulty sensor and a replacement board fixed it. > Only under load does the temperature >shoot up, but I know the chip isn't getting hot and the fan >is running - I've felt around in there and nothing was even >close to the 117+C it was sensing. Apart from the actual CPU, most parts of a system have a fairly significant thermal mass so a rapid change in temperature either indicates a catastrophic failure or the temperature sensor isn't really reporting the temperature of the relevant zone. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --8JPrznbw0YAQ/KXy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHvTgT/opHv/APuIcRAla1AJ4ucBwS2GsYrmOsCEnYYgVks5p5hwCgnBPd aykaNfkZAZ2jXzs0UrUqLoU= =kf7U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8JPrznbw0YAQ/KXy--
