On FreeBSD on Intel, just load coretemp.ko and it's in
dev.cpu.?.temperature, where ? is the CPU. When running my desktop, I have
it continuously displayed with the gkrellm2 system display. Since it will
fail when the system is idle, I don't think it gets hot until after the
lock-up, but I'll confirm it when I get back to that system later today.
