Oh I see :p A temperature sensor on the CPU would've been more useful :p I never knew it had one though THANKS!!

OK thanks, but also the bq27200 module is related to the battery.

What exactly does the control delay do/mean?

The temperature is not constantly monitorated, it is checked every "X" minutes. X is the control delay

Even though I have ran my n900 overclocked to 1150 for several hours of heavy load, it is good to have a fail safe tool.

Specially when you live in a city where 40ºC is normal room temp.

Package needed:
Enhanced Linux kernel for power users
Enhanced Linux kernel for power users (settings)

And during installation the package try to install the bq27200 module
Code:

sudo gainroot
echo bq27x00_battery >> /etc/modules
modprobe bq27x00_battery

thank u for this app.it was a life saver for me.I was working on the car yesterday and i left my phone on the dash.totally forgot about it until i finished 2 hours later on a very hot day.I freaked out until I saw the app work its magic...and the phone was at 58 celcius.God know how much more it would have been with the 1000 overclock i had.thanks!

I recommend this app to anybody out there who overclocks!
