I can't believe it :) It has been such a long time, how are you doing? The temperature reported by the coretemp kernel driver changed between 10.3 and 11.0 because it's fundamentally reported as a relative temperature by the CPU. As you can see, the high temperature limit changed from 85°C to 100°C because our heuristic to determine the limit based on the CPU model changed. The important thing is that the difference between the measured temperature and the high temperature limit did not change for you between 10.3 and 11.0 (85 - 36 = 49, 100 - 52 = 48.) So physically the temperature is really the same (and you have a huge safety margin.) I know it's confusing, but blame it on Intel for not clearly documenting the high temperature limit for all their CPU models. So, if something in your system was overheating, it was not visible in the output of "sensors". I have no idea why your fans were running faster, nor why they no longer do. Werner, Alex certainly has a CPU fan, just the default sensors.conf labels do not match his motherboard. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
