Please see CAVEATS section of the new manual page: For Family 10h and later processors, ``(the reported temperature) is a non-physical temperature measured on an arbitrary scale and it does not represent an actual physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation'' according to BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for AMD Processors, http://developer.amd.com/documentation/guides/Pages/default.aspx. BTW, the temperature reading goes up when the system is loaded and goes down when it is idle, right? Just making sure... Thanks, Jung-uk KimReceived on Thu Feb 23 2012 - 22:12:08 UTC
