I'm wondering, why acerhdf is even loaded for your notebook, as no MODULE_ALIAS matches: [...] MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:*Acer*:pnAOA*:"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:*Acer*:pnAspire 1410*:"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:*Acer*:pnAspire 1810*:"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:*Acer*:pnAO531*:"); [...] Which distribution do you use? Does the distribution somehow autoload acerhdf? Or do you manually load the driver? > Peter, it looks like we support not only Atoms with that driver.

A quick search got me to this page: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Maximum-CPU-Temperature/143/5 where we clearly see, that the core 2 have much lower critical temperatures. I added all those 1410* and 1810T* entries on behalf of people telling they'd have the fan control working with these lines for some weeks without problems and I didn't care about searching for the netbooks specifications. My fault. I would propose to enhance the bios_tbl by the default temperatures.
