I performed the workaround described in the third/last link above. Did not seem to have an affect.
My PC
* Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 Processor (Santa Rosa, 2.2GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
* Linux Mint 11 dvd install
* 15.4” WSXGA Display (1680 x 1050)
* 256MB NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M Workstation GPU
* 2GB DDR2 667MHz RAM (1 x 2GB Configuration)
* 100GB 7200RPM Seagate 2.5” HDD
* DVD+/-RW Optical Drive
* WiFi, Ethernet, Modem, and Bluetooth Connectivity
I installed the monitor applet per the instructions...
Here is a screen shot of the results... I right click on the temp icons and choose "preferences --> sensors" but they are not very explicit as to exactly what temps correlate with what hardware except that the first temp is "disc temp" and the last two temps are "core temps". I realize that the sensors were identified at the time I was answering YES/NO upon setup in the terminal, but must I now go back and take notes in order to correlate the right sensor to the icons on the bottom panel?sudo apt-get install lm-sensors sensors-applet
sudo sensors-detect
answer the questions y/n
Finally, restart to load all the sensors. Once back at the desktop, right-click on the top panel and choose "Add to Panel." Select "Hardware Sensors Monitor" and click the "Add" button, then "Close." Right-click on all the sensors that appear and choose "Preferences." Click the "Sensors" tab. There you can select/de-select all the relevant sensors and adjust their low and high values as well as set alarms if desired.
Can anyone help me decipher a little of what I'm seeing? 75C, 67C seem to be a bit high for having one open window connected to the web and no other discressionary processes running.
Do these temps seem appropriate?
