    These temps can't be right can they?

    THM0 (is actually the CPU)

    [​IMG]
    THM0 read 128C for max temp. that can't be right, right?
    Note: This is the second time i've seen this, and my Thinkpad has never shut down on me.

    also, does anyone think my temps at the max are dangerously high?

    are you sure its not in fahrenheit?? it would have shut down way before reaching 128 C since most of intel's chips are designed to withstand a maximum of 100 C.

    I think your THM0 thermistor isn't working properly...

    it says 128C (262F).
    i hope that's true about it shutting down

    i really hope it's just a software glitch

    I really think it's a software glitch. I use TPFancontrol on my T60p and sometimes I get a very quick reading of 112C CPU right as it boots. not always, but sometimes.My CPU never reaches anywhere remotely near that temp.

    If the BIOS actually sees it reaching past 100C or so your machine would just do a hard shutdown in order to protect the hardware.

    I'd say it's almost 100% likely it's a software issue. Your temps look fine, although I'd say your CPU is a tad on the warm side at max temperatures. Easy way to help that out is to raise the back edge of the notebook.

    Its a software glitch, it will sometimes jump.

    Try -3242432534c for GPU temps

    THM0 is not the cpu temp.

    It is a thermal zone temp.
    It is based on the temp of the devices in the thermal zone, that will depend on how the ACPI code has been programmed.

    The temp you are seeing is correct.
    I can modify your dsdt table in your registry to cap the temp at a certain number if you want.

    Ofcoarse it wont make a difference. Basically you should ignore that value and also THM1.

    Usually those values are just numbers that are loosly based on temps, they help decide when active cooling (fan) or passive cooling (throttling) are triggered.

    I can help you mod your dsdt so that you will see what ever value you want.
    I can also stop throttling for you (if it's enabled in the code).
    And also I can help you change the fan speeds (if the fan code is there).

    Personally I would just ignore that temp unless you see a performence decrease when it jumps to a high number, then you are having your cpu throttled.
