I just bought my first arm board, a raspberry Pi B+, but it hasn't even arrived and i'm already starting to regret it a little. This Banana Pi or the $45 Hummingboard-i1 is a much better option. Before I became interested in these boards I knew nothing about arm processors. Now that i've done some r...

Have you tried using a different router? It's possible that the routers been infected, I've had that happen once before. It drove me nuts until I figured out it was my router and not my computer.

Interesting read flash, I get the gist of it but I can't say i'm very good at math equations, or math in general for that matter :) Anyway I think I found an answer that explains this all.

Well this is odd, the sensors command is no longer working in the terminal. I must've screwed something up. Like I said though forcing the k10temp module to load makes it display the correct temp of 49 to 51 degrees, but only for a few seconds. Not sure how to get it to stay loaded. I set it to forc...

If I type
#rmmod k10temp
# modprobe k10temp force=1

it starts working for a little bit then stops

In order to calibrate lm sensors, I need to find the config file in puppy. Any idea where it is in precise? Its not in the etc folder.

I have no problems in win 7, but I use puppy most of the time.

If you read carefully 70 degrees isn't the actual temperature, but its telling you the Max temp, the critical temp, and the hysteresis temp.

The temp reading is where it says 1.4 degrees which is obviously wrong haha.

I also tried that one, it gave a temp reading between 10 and 13 degrees celsius. That would seem an incorrect value. That program is really cool though if it worked.

@Flash My bios always shows the correct temp. @bigpup I actually already tried that program and it gave 2 temperature readings, one of them was incorrect and the other said 51 degrees which sounds about right. That program doesn't seem to show me the temp in real-time though. I have to keep clickin...

Incorrect CPU temps in Precise (Solved)

I can't seem to get a proper CPU temperature reading in precise 5.7.1.

The k10temp reading in hardinfo is very erratic and randomly jumps anywhere from half a degree celsius to 20 degrees celcius.

Its the A6-6400K 3.9ghz APU in my signature.

I found this tool for stress testing your CPU, its a command line tool. I tested it on Puppy 5.7.1 precise and it works. http://cpuburnin.com/ Run the program with one command line value to specify the length of time to run the test: eg. "./cpuburn-in 10" will run the test for ten minutes....

I have to agree with Eyes-Only, puppy 4.2.1 was simply the best. I've been using puppy since 2009 and started with 4.1.2 which I liked alot. Then moved to 4.2.1 the day it was released. I used 4.2.1 up until a couple days ago because I couldn't get my new sound card to work. Now i'm using precise 5....
