Hi Len,
sure, the apps I am using for reading out the processor's temp via coretemp are / were: lm_sensors: version 2.10.4, 2.10.6 and (currently) 3.0.1: all report the same (higher) temperatures (compared to 2.6.24 series)
CONFIG_THERMAL currently is enabled in the kernel: grep CONFIG_THERMAL /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_THERMAL=y
I'll recompile the kernel now & let you know the effect in a few hours (currently I'm working on the box)
"Dairinin" on forums.gentoo.org pointed out that the desktop-cpu simply might not be identified correctly: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5065902.html#5065902
"Thats because new kernel (lm_sensors, etc?, etc?)incorrectly thinks our cpu's Tj is 100C, whereas for all core 2 duo's it is 85C (100C is for C0 stepping and above, AFAIK). Substract 15 and you'll get real temps."
I don't know if that's the case but it sounds plausible to me
thanks everyone for your answer & help so far
Regards
Mat
