Temperature is reported in 0.1 degrees Kalvin with O C = 273 K, so 3350 is 62 C. As a side note -- I have seen shutdown on my laptop when temperature was raising too fast and fans were not kicking in (I have fair share of mis-features in my ACPI BIOS). I would tend to believe that when temperature raises too rapidly ACPI is allowed to shut hardware down without notifying OS to preserve circuitry from frying. But this is just AFAIK and I am way out of my depth here. -- Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko.Received on Wed Jan 07 2004 - 18:13:09 UTC
