anyone using a speedfan program?

[mhousel]

correct the spelling as shown above.
sensors-applet

That's what I get for copying text from a quote box!

Thank you!


Oops got too excited too quick!

It somehow thinks it's already there, yet it's not really there?

sensors applet is a gnome-panel applet, so to show it, right click on a blank peice of panel, and select Add to Panel. then scroll down to Hardware Sensors Monitor (or somesuch), and it will appear. then rclick->Properties to configure which sensors to show.

Thanks, so that works and shows the same data the the kSensors panel shows.
So I think that lm-sensors is working OK, but my system seems to have very few sensors?

But nothing allows me to speed up my fans above the minimum until just before the system clicks off with an over temperature.

The limits here seem to be unchangeable by any means I can find or example shown anywhere.

My sensors output looks nothing like anything posted anywhere?

root@mhousel-laptop:~# sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +55.0°C (crit = +104.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000

Core 0: +55.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1: +56.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

yeah, I've always been disappointed at the sensors exposed to linux. even speedfan is iffy on less common hardware. my last 3 HP business machines at work, won't even show the core temps in speedfan with vista/win7.
