Laptop temperature
Hi,
I've noticed the occasional mention of temperatures (usually checking to
see if this is causing crashes) including the "Asus K8N, Cool'n'Quiet,
and sensors.conf" thread.
I have a Compaq Presario R3000 with an Athlon 3400+ which has power
states 800Mhz, 1.8GHz & 2.2GHz. I've had it doing hard work all evening
and the temperature (/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature) is 51*C.
Is this dangerously high?
I set the power level at 1.8GHz because full load at 2.2GHz can put the
temperature near 70*C. The fans are not currently at full speed but they
do speed up if I set power to 2.2GHz (and the temperature climbs).
I have yet to have any problems (that weren't software) and my PC
(Athlon 3400+) also runs around this temp (at full load 2.2GHz)
Should I be worried?
Hugh
