System76 Gazelle Professional: lm-sensors
August 24, 2012 5 Comments
This is the third post about my new System76 Gazelle Professional. I am continuing to look at the heat issue. I decided to install lm-sensors and run that on all three laptops. Here are the results.

Core 3: +49.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Once again the the System76 is running hotter than the Lenovo machines.
Contacted the S76 guys? What say they?
I did contact them and their response was:
“That sounds perfectly normal. Maximum operating temperature for our systems is 90 degrees C, or around 190 degrees F. You’re well within limits there.”
Another Gazelle Pro owner here, same temperatures. But yeah – http://ark.intel.com/products/64899/ it can handle 90C. I just hope the HDDs don’t get that hot – too bad the other sensors in this laptop aren’t supported!!!
I am also curious if a two-pipe heatsink would have lowered temperatures a bit.
