Where I can I find a decent priced PCI card that does temps (tethered to place on anything or just for case)??

* And is recognized by sensors-detect?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20837010 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:39:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20834700 joako : I don't have my PC with me, it's in the shop (don't remove your CPU and walk around barefoot on carpet), but yes I noticed the same thing it reports temp1 (CPU), temp2 (motherboard), core1 and core2.... Core1 and Core2 always seem to be lower than "CPU" temp. CPU temp seems to match up with what the BIOS says.

It's an AMD AM2 dualcore, if that matters.

On my system I always see at least a 5-6C difference in CPU vs core temperatures:

Sys Temp: +26.0°C (high = -104.0°C, hyst = -67.0°C) ALARM sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp: +26.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = diode
AUX Temp: +26.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +33.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1: +32.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0002
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 2: +33.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0003
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 3: +32.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)

My coretemps are usually lower than one of my two ACPI readouts (cores 35C, 34C, ACPI 39C 27C). This doesn't seem too odd to me, since the CPU has that big fan mounted directly on top.

If I max out both cores (two shells, each running yes>/dev/null), then the cores (56C 56C) are hotter than the ACPI temps (40C 43C).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20819497 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 07:07:30 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20819209 Justakiwi : At the moment its reading:

coretemp-1
core 1 - 42C

coretemp-2
core 0 - 44C

ACPI

TZ01 51C
TZ00 51C

so no, it doesn't always track as it showed in my first post. Sometimes on of the coretemp readings happens to match one of the ACPI readings, but other times they don't. What does always seem to be the same are the two ACPI readings. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20819209 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:20:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20819123 JohnInSJ : the ACPI is reporting some actual sensor reading, which (if it continues to track like you show there) is "coretemp2"

What sensor the ACPI uses is up to the bios folks.

I'm assuming the coretemp readings are taken right from the cpu core, but if that's correct I would have expected those to be higher than the acpi readings.

My readings at the moment are:

coretemp1 - 38C
coretemp2 - 47C
TZ01 - 47C
TZ02 - 47C]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20818304 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:28:59 EDT
