ChampagneMojo,

I don't have any spftware to "monitor" the CPU/BIOS temps running in Knoppix, but, when I was having the memory problem, back a few months ago, I "did" view the temps from within the BIOS...

Having a "very" comfy case, and the motherboard is actually very small in the case... I would notice temps around 70 degrees F on a "cold" system, and, as the system was left running, I easily saw the temps get up to a "standard" "normalized" temps of around 80 to 89 degrees F. No problems have been detected, and my BIOS has an "emergency" shutdown "cap" of around 120 to 130 degrees F... So, if you are seeing 70's, you have more cooling capacity than I have...

Does the BIOS have a "cap" setting? What does it say should be the "maximum" it should "ever" get to, before the system will "force" a shutdown???

Cuddles
PS - not having the BIOS monitoring enabled, and already have Knoppix h/d installed, how would I get these "temp monitoring" services viewable in my install? (just curious)
