[gentoo-user] [OT] lm_sensors question.

[Mrugesh Karnik]

Hello,

I have a small query. I wonder what the "temp3" in the output of sensors is? I 
have been having problems with the computer shutting down due to over 
heating. Here's my current sensors output:

M/B Temp:    +42°C  (high =   +16°C, hyst =    +0°C)   sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp:  +36.0°C  (high =   +60°C, hyst =   +55°C)   sensor = thermistor
temp3:     +66.0°C  (high =   +60°C, hyst =   +55°C)   sensor = thermistor   
ALARM

Also, I just noticed that it has stopped showing my CPU fan rpms. Could anyone 
suggest what the problem might be?

Thank you,
Mrugesh

Well I'm not sure, but you can 'emerge hddtemp' and verify the hard drive
temperature quite easily. 

hddtemp /dev/hda  < for example>
/dev/hda: HTS726060M9AT00: 44 C

hth,
James

Oh I'll do that, thanks.

# hddtemp /dev/hda
/dev/hda: Maxtor 6Y080L0: 22 C

This doesn't look right, as system temperature is shown as 29°C.
At startup hddtemp reported 12 C, while room temperature is 17°C.

Hmm, this is what I get:

hddtemp /dev/hda
/dev/hda: ST3120022A: 41°C

hddtemp /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb: ST380011A: 41°C

M/B Temp:    +43°C  (high =   +17°C, hyst =    +0°C)   sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp:  +37.5°C  (high =   +60°C, hyst =   +55°C)   sensor = thermistor
temp3:     +66.0°C  (high =   +60°C, hyst =   +55°C)   sensor = thermistor   
ALARM

What the heck is that temp3 then?

Look at the first line of output of sensors, it says which chip is 
being used.  Find that chip (the part before the first dash) in 
/etc/sensors.conf and read the comments.  It will probably say that 
it is unknown how to calculate temp3 and that you probably want to 
add or uncomment the line 'ignore temp3'.
