Seems to me that if the temperature was actually that much higher, some basic rules of physics are being broken by your machine..... I could be wrong, but it seems to me that for the internal temp of the case (motherboard) to be raised by 24-26 degrees, the CPU itself would have to get a whole lot hotter than the same 24-26 degrees. (Assuming, of course, that the MB temp sensor isn't physically mounted directly beneath the CPU. If it is, you bought a motherboard designed by morons - get a different one.) I'd have to agree that you're seeing a software reporting error, not an actual temperature increase.... Try it with a real thermometer, and if you don't have one of those, use your thumb. You'll feel the difference if it's that much hotter. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
