Hi,
I have a Pentium 4 and i have been trying to get "coretemp" and
"sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature" to display my Cpu temperture ,
however i have not had any luck using them
Are there any other apps perhaps from ports that reports CPU temp?
I've been using the port "xmbmon" for that, in
combination with
device smbus
device iicbus
device iicsmb
device iicbb
device iic
in the kernel configuration file - on a Pentium 4
system. I haven't tried the sysctl method, because
xmbmon did work out of the box. :-) You can also
use mbmon for text output.
Here's an example from ~/.xinitrc calling xmbmon:
xmbmon -g 150x100+0+897 \
-tmin 20.0 -tmax 70.0 \
-cmtmb CPU -cltmb blue \
-cmtcpu CS -cltcpu cyan \
-cmtcs SYS -cltcs green \
-vmin 2.0 -vmax 3.0 -cmvc V -clvc red&
Depending on the sensor installation of your
particular system, check if the different values
do match the hardware. Maybe check from within
your CMOS setup for reference values.
For amd, I use dev.cpu.0.temperature. For some reason, it's 15 degrees
off compared to the bios and linux. I used benchmarks/stress along with
setting specific frequencies to figure out where linux and where freebsd
would hit a temperature limit.
