I went through some of my history to see what led to that answer, but there were so many like openbsd+high temp, kate+openbsd, kate+high temp+openbsd, etc. I didn't find the correct link to that answer. I'll look some more. I even went to marc and searched openbsd-misc and openbsd-newbies. Not knowledgeable enough to man apm. I assumed the kate temp was wrong or what was causing the fan to run so fast/high, so I did a man kate. Reasoning was that kate was showing the highest temp. > anyway check with apm if CPU really lower your frequency and with > systat sensors what other data are available > Thank-you!
