Those apps are frequently inaccurate. Check it in your bios if it will read back your temp. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 12:21 AM, Mike Williams <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:knightperson@zuzax.com">knightperson@zuzax.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

If it's not reading true, it's at least showing something related to temperature as the reading goes up under load and down at other times. As I start writing this, it had just hit 98C and produced a "Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled" message. What worries me is that while the fan is blowing, it's doing so at far below its fastest speed. I don't think the fan is just clogged or anything because in Windows it will go much faster. It seems like the equation for when the fan goes to what speed needs adjusting, but I don't know where that is.<br>

Any ideas how to fix this? OS is Ubuntu 10.10. The hardware is a Toshiba a305-s6872, which is a core2duo centrino running an Intel GM45 chipset.<br><font color="#888888">
