Ok, you are rigth. If I do:

julio at malastrana ~ $ sudo rmmod therm_adt746x

julio at malastrana ~ $ top

top - 17:25:18 up 13 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.32, 0.89, 0.67


the load average is < 1. If I reload the module:


julio at malastrana ~ $ sudo modprobe therm_adt746x

julio at malastrana ~ $ top

top - 17:45:47 up 33 min,  3 users,  load average: 1.00, 1.03, 0.87

the load average is upper again.

In the dmesg I see:

...
Thermal assist unit not available
...
adt746x: Thermostat bus: 1, address: 0x2e, limit_adjust: 0, fan_speed:
-1
adt746x: ADT7460 initializing
adt746x: Lowering max temperatures from 81, 80, 87 to 70, 50, 70 (°C)
adt746x: Setting speed to: 0 for CPU fan.

There is a bug (#1606) about this but it is closed...

Thanks!
