This doesn't look good. Ah, it's a solved bug, at least if you are running wheezy/sid: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628228 > root@wheejy:/# sensors > acpitz-virtual-0 > Adapter: Virtual device > temp1: +57.5°C (crit = +126.0°C) This looks like the CPU sensor. It is still a bit high but dependending on the CPU model it could be in the safe range. > nouveau-pci-0100 > Adapter: PCI adapter > temp1: +79.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +110.0°C) Ah, this seems your VGA card's sensor. > I can add that these 2 values (79 and 57) are actually the ones > displayed by the applet. both the "sensors" and "sensors-detect" > programs are part of the "lm-sensors" package. > > Can you guys make some sense out of these informations ? Yep. They now make more sense. But take an eye to the CPU temp, it should not exceed its limits (neither 74°C nor 95°C are good numbers). Is this a notebook? Notebooks CPUs tend to be more heat and they support higher values for T junction.
