      New SG-5100 on the status screen the Temperature is reporting 0.1° C. Clearly not right. I'm a little concerned about the cooling on this unit, so seeing the temperature would be useful.

      What do I need to do to enable the temperature display?

        Go to System > Advanced > Misc and set the Thermal Sensor to Intel Core.

        They usually run around ~45C in 20C ambient.

          It's a bug, changing the Thermal Sensors settings doesn't help (I have the same problem), Zone 0 still showing 0.1 degree...

            Mine is reporting 30.0C. It drifted down to 29.0C and up to 31.0C. The temperature in our server room is pretty constant and the CPU load (2%) stays the same so it should be at a steady state. It's not like the fans kick on.

              What's reporting 30.0C? Zone 0 or Core 0-3?
              There are no fans in the SG-5100.

                Checking the link in Batnum's reply, it looks like the temperature display in the status screen has changed. I only see one Temperature display .

                (The fan comment was a joke.)

                  Click on the + sign and add the Thermal Sensors widget...

                    Yes the value passed by ACPI for zone 0 is invalid. Use the CPU core temp value to get an accurate temperature reading.
