i am using fedora core 5...when i open the terminal window, after sometime i keep gettin the following msg

Message from syslogd@localhost at Mon Aug 21 13:30:26 2006 ...
localhost kernel: CPU0: Temperature above threshold

Message from syslogd@localhost at Mon Aug 21 13:30:26 2006 ...
localhost kernel: CPU0: Running in modulated clock mode

what is the reason?...is it serious?....wat is the solution?

hmm.. install LMsensors and see what values for teperatures you get..

Yes.i believe is serious,in windows also if temp monitoring software is installed it will show a warning popup.i got same msg with my previous mobo(intel D915GAV) and ended up opening the cabinet to set the Heatsink-fan repasted using heatsink compound and lock the LGA775 properly.lm-sensors can show you almost all temp and parameters as windows does.u need to run the script sensors-detect .
