Now that you mention it, yeah, that command does tell the temperature and such. Right now: hw.sensors.acpitz0.temp0=38.50 degC (zone temperature) hw.sensors.lm1.temp0=21.00 degC hw.sensors.lm1.temp1=38.50 degC hw.sensors.lm1.fan0=3668 RPM hw.sensors.lm1.fan1=2596 RPM hw.sensors.lm1.volt0=1.55 VDC (VCore) hw.sensors.lm1.volt1=3.31 VDC (+3.3V) hw.sensors.lm1.volt2=5.03 VDC (+5V) hw.sensors.lm1.volt3=11.61 VDC (+12V) hw.sensors.lm1.volt4=-11.87 VDC (-12V) hw.sensors.lm1.volt5=-4.80 VDC (-5V) hw.sensors.lm1.volt6=4.87 VDC (5VSB) hw.sensors.lm1.volt7=3.30 VDC (VBAT) To my eye, that all looks withing range. I'll have to try replicating the load and checking the temperature. (I had google mail, a wikipedia page or two open and some candy-making pages for my wife, but that was all at the time. All browser stuff. I was thinking less about load and more about firefox dying and taking the system with it. Firefox 26.0 from the openbsd 5.5 packages. Google even keeps telling me the browser is no longer supported by them. Need to upgrade to obsd 5.6 this weekend if I can make the time.)

I think it's getting close to time for spring cleaning with the vacuum cleaner.

Look first in your own heart, and ask yourself if you are not your own worst enemy. Arm yourself with knowledge of yourself, as well.
