16 This driver permits reading temperature sensor(s) embedded inside AMD K8 CPUs.
17 Official documentation says that it works from revision F of K8 core, but
18 in fact it seems to be implemented for all revisions of K8 except the first
19 two revisions (SH-B0 and SH-B3).
21 There can be up to four temperature sensors inside single CPU. The driver
22 will auto-detect the sensors and will display only temperatures from
25 Mapping of /sys files is as follows:
27 temp1_input - temperature of Core 0 and "place" 0
28 temp2_input - temperature of Core 0 and "place" 1
29 temp3_input - temperature of Core 1 and "place" 0
30 temp4_input - temperature of Core 1 and "place" 1
32 Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
33 1 degree C. It is expected that future CPU will have better resolution. The
34 temperature is updated once a second. Valid temperatures are from -49 to
37 Temperature known as TCaseMax was specified for processors up to revision E.
38 This temperature is defined as temperature between heat-spreader and CPU
39 case, so the internal CPU temperature supplied by this driver can be higher.
40 There is no easy way how to measure the temperature which will correlate
41 with TCaseMax temperature.
43 For newer revisions of CPU (rev F, socket AM2) there is a mathematically
44 computed temperature called TControl, which must be lower than TControlMax.
46 The relationship is following:
48 temp1_input - TjOffset*2 < TControlMax,
50 TjOffset is not yet exported by the driver, TControlMax is usually
51 70 degrees C. The rule of the thumb -> CPU temperature should not cross
52 60 degrees C too much.
