  <pre wrap="">Hi all,

as already said in some previous messages,  I do have the impression
that my thinkpad (T43p) does not cool enough. I know my fan can do
better (when system boots it boosts the fan), but even under hours of
compiling with 100% cpu load the fan speed does not perform as hard as
it can. In acpi the temperature is 87 C. Is that real? Please send me
some information about your acpi temperatures. I know, that ibm-acpi
yields a set of 4 or 5 temperature values. What do they stand for?

Thanks to all responders,
Florian

How do you access the acpi temperature? 
 
I have a T43p and it run cool, less than 60 C. &nbsp; I use Hmonitor to read
the temperature.&nbsp;&nbsp; 87 seams too close to the limit of 100 to be good.&nbsp;
Since it is new, I would call IBM and see.&nbsp; They may have you send it
in to redo the mounting of the heat sink/fan etc.
