The GUI does not report anything close to correct readings on my machine -- always says something like 59 centigrade. I always use: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep temperature ...when I check it.
What I find is they do run very similar #'s ... the GUI gives the 15 minute average and I believe it is probably running the same as the cpuinfo command is, just averaged and not instantaneous. If I repeatedly run the cpuinfo, within 10 seconds (running it 5 times) I can see as much as a 5 degree variation, so either the program is not accurate or the temp changes VERY quickly, which would not surprise. me.
Mostly I run in the mid 40's, over the course of the day. Jale
