Description of problem: The temperature reported for the CPU is below ambient, and the temperatures for core0 and core1 are wildly different, but they are on the same die. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lm_sensors-3.0.1-5.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run "sensors" 2. 3. Actual results: k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +30.0°C Core1 Temp: +19.0°C Expected results: Useful values Additional info: CPU is a Dual-Core AMD Opteron 1210
This is to be expected, the on die temperature diode's of AMD's are wildly inaccurate (the process in which the silicium is processed from raw silicium to a processor is not optimised to generate a good temperature sensor but to generate a good processor). I can send this report to the author of the k8temp driver if you want, but I expect the answer to be the same (I'm subscribed to the lm_sensors mailing-list and this is sort of a FAQ).
Eh, good enough for me.. I would rather have the good processor.
