Current lm-sersors don't seems to be correct on a net6501. You can use the builtin digital sensor on the Atom chip, in an earlier post: According to the Intel docs, the commercial Atom E6xx parts we use have a Tjmax of 90°C, with an onchip precision digital thermal sensor that will shut down the chip if the Tjmax is exceeded. The die temperature is readable using RDMSR reg 019C bits 16..22, as an offset from Tjmax, can be done in the comBIOS monitor by: > rm 19c If it t.ex. shows 00000000 88240000 then the offset is the 24 (hex), which gives 90 - 36 = 54°C Our testing shows net6501-70 processpr temperature about 32 deg celcius above ambient when in the standard case flat on a table.
