The output from `sensors` seems incorrent to me, temperature wise at least: Case Fan: 0 RPM (min = 1318 RPM, div = 128) CPU Fan: 2721 RPM (min = 1704 RPM, div = 8) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 79 RPM, div = 128) fan4: 0 RPM (min = 21093 RPM, div = 64) Sys Temp: +37°C (high = +45°C, hyst = +40°C) CPU Temp: +52.5°C (high = +45.0°C, hyst = +40.0°C) temp3: +123.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) Note: the machine has been working fine with FC5 till this week. -- Fedora Core 5 and proud
