I am using 2.6.20-16-generic

So it's likely that a newer kernel will solve things.

You say that CPU-temperature is 'fixed' showing constantly 40°C. On my
system I get a similar issue, but it is reported as THRM 'Thermal zone'
It remains constant, and I'm not sure what it relates to.

Sensors tells me I have

Core0 Temp: 39.00 (temp1)
Core1 Temp: 39.00 (temp3)

But I also have

temp2: 35.00 (temp2)

which I take to be the motherboard temperature.


Incidentally, a recent kernel upgrade caused my temperature readings to
drop significantly.

Using Boinc on both processors, the CPU temperature has dropped from
around 53C to around 38C (idle is about 28C).

I have no idea whether this is a real temperature drop (I hope so), or
some sensors configuration issue, or a bug. The CPU fan revs (which I
assume don't depend on k8temp, but I may be wrong about this - it's a
guess) seem to be consistent with a real effect. The bios adjusts fan
revs according to temperature. Currently, it's about 1680. With a hot
CPU I'd expect around 2500. On a subjective level, the air coming out of
the machine has a cooling effect on my hand and the case is not warm.
