Which AMD CPUs are supported -- temperature

Hard as I try I can not get anything close to the actual temperature
of the CPUs or cores while running on FreeBSD.
I assembled the following box as an intended builder for FreeBSD
Install images, upgrade images, and ports development, and package
builder / installer.
 But to no avail. I'm unwilling to put any pressure on a CPU I
have no reference material on regarding the temperature. Immediately
after boot I get 1.1C, and loading it with average services; the CPU
is purported by FreeBSD (amdtemp) to hover between ~7-11.6C.
 I can be fairly sure that the CPU isn't frozen after boot, as I'm
not dumping liquid nitrogen on it, or anything. :)
According to specs on this CPU; I can safely run it up to 70C. At
POST, the BIOS reports it around ~34-38C. But as noted above, after
boot, FreeBSD reports 1.1C. Which can't be correct.
What needs to be done to get the temp? I don't have this problem on
any of my other AMD based boxes/servers.

Detailed info on this CPU, and FreeBSD it's running:

FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r323185: amd64
Also tried on:
FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE r357001 amd64

# dmidecode 3.1
Scanning /dev/mem for entry point.
SMBIOS 2.8 present.
