[Gllug] CPU temperature too high

[Nix]

On Mon, 12 Jun 2006, Tethys whispered secretively:

Ick, only one sensored fan? (Mind you that's true of one of my machines,
as well. It still makes me twitchy, especially if I know that the
machine depends on all three fans working to avoid overheating.)

One irrelevant suggestion: fix those thresholds. (You might want to work
out the right temperature dividers, too: one of temp2 or temp3 are
generally motherboard temperature sensors, and that seems *awfully* hot
for a motherboard. So the dividers are probably wrong. Alas working out
what they *are* is rather tricky.)

But you really want to fix the dividers: munin and other tools can then
emit alarms when your fans start dying or the temperatures soar.
