Hi,
I'm running jaunty and I have an intel i7 CPU; I'm using lm-sensors to monitor the temperature (had to build from source; the repository version did not work). Idle temperature is around 50C and load is about 70-75C. Apparently that is normal for i7 (according to some web posts). lm-sensors indicates "high" for 80C+ and "critical" for 100C+ - I'm far from that. I'm just using the stock cooler with no special equipment.
Do you observe similar values?
Here is my main question: lm-sensors indicates 8 different core temperatures, but the i7 only has 4 cores! (albeit 8 threads) In idle mode there are always pairs of identical numbers (4 pairs), but under load the temperatures fluctuate quite a lot, and the pairs are not identical anymore.
My interpretation is that lm-sensor queries temperatures twice for each of the for cores (because it thinks there should be 8?) and because of the fluctuation at high load levels, temperatures change between two queries to the same core...
Anyone any thoughts on this?
What are you guy using to monitor core temperatures in kubuntu (jaunty)? Would you recommend using a different monitoring software? I just started with this whole monitoring business...
