CPU temp

[docnascar]

I have the following temps reported here

Temp1   +45.0 C
Temp2   -78.0 C
Temp3   -66.0 C

  Believe me those two are definitely wrong  ...  the first one seems about correct.

All three change with various actions affecting temperature.

This is a 4 core Intel chip 

I am grateful they were so badly wrong that I had no doubt 

Thats cool!

side question for grep:
if I use the command sensors | grep temp1 how do I modify the command to get it to show temp2 and temp3 at the same time?

that is the reason why i don't use inset quote button

it took me 40 seconds to discover what you wrote rob

yes, that is a cool intel machine

OOPS!!! fixed it !

sensors | grep temp

sensors | grep temp

Ha. Now I feel dumb.  I need to think, keep it simple. Look for common things. Thanks.

I found out how to grep two or more things. This is neat to, just playing. 
sensors |grep 'temp\|fan'

Code: [Select]

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +60.0°C  (crit = +88.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +41.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)

eeepc-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1:        1450 RPM

These are the only 3 sensors I have.

temp1 is the base of the cpu socket, where it attaches to the mobo

Core 0 is the internal temperature of the CPU and it's transistors

fan1 is of course the fan


I had to do some research to find that info out, but all is well and below the
critical temperature, and runs predictably at regular temperatures then.
