Then, as per Intel docs, thermal diode reading gives you the "T junction" value: *** http://www.intel.com/support/processors/pentiumiii/sb/cs-007589.htm (2) The junction temperature (TJ) can be determined using the thermal diode in the processor core. For more information, see the AP-905 Pentium III Processor Thermal Design Guidelines (order # 245087). *** THT Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
