The I/O for the compiler is reading and writing on the disk, which means memory I/O, but nowhere as intensive as mprime. If the average of the temperature on the CPU cores is indicative of the T_c (the temperature metrology spec used by Intel) while compiling the CPU should be much above the temperature at maximum load, per Intel's spec (71 degrees measured at the geometrical center of the CPU). Another strange thing is the difference among cores. This seems to be always true: Core0 Temp > Core1 Temp > Core2 Temp > Core3 Temp, with differences of up to 20 degrees among Core0 and Core3. -- Oscar _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
