Hi Des,
thanks a lot!

Could you please try to explain these results?

> sysctl hw.coretemp.tjmax hw.coretemp.delta hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperat=
ure
hw.coretemp.tjmax: 100
hw.coretemp.delta: -38
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 66.8C

Shouldn't hw.coretemp.delta be (hw.coretemp.tjmax -
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature)?

Thanks!

> DES
