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.
