[NTLUG:Discuss] Temperature Triggers

[Stephen Davidson]

Greetings.

I have an oldstyle AMD CPU, one of the first generations after the
legendary "Cook an egg on it". (I tried Googling for one of the videos
from that era, but no luck in the first couple of pages, sorry).

Normal max operating temp is 95c, but the system does a protective
shutdown at 90c.  I've tried modifying this in lm_sensors
/etc/sensors.d, but so far no luck.  The current documentation seems to
be not current with the current code.  I have an entry:

compute temp1 @+10, at +10

but it seems that:
 - only the first @+10 is read and is used both for setting critical and
adjusting display
 - temp1 is now displaying 10c higher than other sensors.

NOTE: There is generally a 5c temp difference between 'Core0' and Temp1,
Temp1 being higher.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Steve
