Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I'd like to know how to capture the current temperature of my CPU. I suspect that its overheating for some reason(I haven't overclocked it) and halting during a large operation. The operation is processing a huge file (200MB) and with perl modules adding the processed data to an SQL db. This computer's previous CPU was experiencing similar problems. During large compilations, it would just halt, and it kept getting worse with time. I've added another fan to my chassis and it really isn't overloaded with extra hardware, so I'm not sure what else to do to make my CPU run cooler. For now, I'm planning on just capturing statistics during the running of this huge program to see if my hypothesis is true. I'm also looking for suggestions on what else I can do to debug this: a) verify if its really the CPU overheating if not, then what's causing the cpu to halt? b) how to solve this problem.
