here is my lmmon output. 

 Motherboard Temp               Voltages

 255C / 491F / 528K        Vcore1:   +3.984V
                           Vcore2:   +3.984V
    Fan Speeds             + 3.3V:   +3.984V
                           + 5.0V:   +6.654V
    1:    0 rpm            +12.0V:  +15.938V
    2:    0 rpm            -12.0V:  -15.938V
    3:    0 rpm            - 5.0V:   -6.654V


i'm not sure whether this output is correct : 255 C ?? 
so this should be a reason for acpi to throttling the cpu, doesnt it ?
:) 

can u give me a hint how to "correct" these values ? (cause hardware is
ok this should be a software/config probem (?)



thx
