as long as your box is stable, it does not matter, what the sensors say. They are lying all the time. They are so much off the real value most of the time, that the only temperature that maters, when your box starts to behave strangely. Note down that temperature, and do everything to not reach it. But everything below that is nice&cool. -- [email protected] mailing list
