==== Woken by Alarm ====

The temperature alarm on `laurel` (my old desktop) went off again, at around 4:10am.
I'm not at my best at that time of day.
It was running the `makewhatis -w` from the `cron.weekly` job.
I killed the job, the alarm beeping stopped shortly afterwards and I went back to bed.

In the afternoon I fitted an addition fan blowing at the bridge chip on the Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 motherboard
(which has a small heatsink but no fan).
I also discovered that the BIOS display of the hardware monitoring page locks up after trying to display the voltage of the -5V rail and it has to be reset using the reset switch. The `lm_sensors` output for this rail indicates something above +3V so I suspect that there is a hardware problem there. I told `lm_sensors` to ignore that rail, and also the `temp3` sensor, which doesn't appear to be connected. I bumped up the CPU temperature alarm to not go off until 90°C too. Running `makewhatis -w` manually and watching the sensors output, the CPU temperature peaked at 80.5°C so that should be OK now.
