ok, tested the vanilla-kernel this morning and it shows the exact high
temperatures (with CONFIG_THERMAL=y)

I've got a question:

when trying to disable thermal it just sits there & won't change:
<*> Hardware Monitoring support  --->
  -*- Generic Thermal sysfs driver  --->

it seemingly depends on other things:
Selected by: ACPI_THERMAL && !X86_VOYAGER && ACPI && ACPI_PROCESSOR

is it safe to disable acpi_processor and acpi or CONFIG_THERMAL in
general ? or will it burn down my box ? ;)

I'm asking this because it says/writes:
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL:                                                    │
  │                                                                         │
  │ This driver adds support for ACPI thermal zones.  Most mobile and       │
  │ some desktop systems support ACPI thermal zones.  It is HIGHLY          │
  │ recommended that this option be enabled, as your processor(s)           │
  │ may be damaged without it.

thanks
