Please can you provide the dsdt.bin file?

cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > /tmp/dsdt.bin

(this command will create it in the /tmp directory)

You mean when you try to raise the temperature - CPU usage?

The ACPI versus lm-sensors temperature may be explained after I will have the
dsdt.bin

Add +49



13 62 3E  0011 1110

18 67 43  0100 0011

25 74 4A  0100 1010

27 76 4C  0100 1100

28 77 4D  0100 1101

40 89 59  0101 1001

I added the 49 value to get back the raw value, no bit is stuck. Btw the diode
reading reads 18C - quite close to 13C - maybe the internal CPU sensors is not
well calibrated?

28-25 is the thermistor temperature of motherboard and not processor.

Please also include the cat /proc/cpuinfo

Thanks,
Rudolf
