Please help me. If you have an Asus AS99127F chip, the value reported before in sysfs were not correct, the new ones are. http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg29730.html 40 degrees C is a fairly reasonable temperature for a CPU diode, there's nothing to be afraid of. At any rate it's more reasonable than the incredibly low 20 degrees C temperature you had before, as Robert Hancock noticed in an earlier post. Hope that helps, -- Jean Delvare
