I'd have an easier time suggesting that your reporting software has been broken. I'm also curious as to how you're talking to the BIOS to obtain these temperature values. > Sometime after 3.4-RC and > now this started.

I'd want an external thermometer at the very least. However, since you're the only one reporting this, you could do us all a great service by taking a few minutes off to perform a binary search to narrow down the date at which this purported change might have occurred. You can trivially easily check out kernels and build them to see what effect running them has on your operating temperature. You haven't by some chance just recently started running eg. the SETI @home client, or one of the distributed.net clients by any chance? -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
