I am still however a bit confused as to what mbmon is outputting for me. This
is what I am currently seeing:
Temp.= 30.8, 28.6, 22.0; Rot.= 5818, 5113, 0
Vcore = 1.50, 1.50; Volt. = 3.35, 3.27, 7.93, 0.00, 0.00
I am assuming that 30.8 is the Tcpu of cpu1. But which one is the Tcpu of cpu2?
Here's the chipset mbmon is using to probe the values:
I believe the 1st temp is MB, the 2nd CPU1, the third CPU2. One way to
figure out is to run something CPU intensive on only one CPU and watch
which temp rises. A huge gzip would do the trick. The MB temp
shouldn't change that much, but CPU should go up noticably.
I read the doc for mbmon but still couldn't really understand it. Do I need
to recompile the kernel with SMP in order for mbmon to read the values from
the second CPU? I didn't think that would be necessary. By the way, before
anyone
asks, I do plan to compile SMP in the near future to utilize the second processor.
I believe the monitoring chips are completely independent of SMP. The
monitoring chip has no clue whether the OS is using the CPU or not, it
just records its temp.

PS I hope mbmon has those voltages all wrong, as 3.27 and 7.93 are
nowhere near 5v or 12v! (There's also healthd in the ports, but my
(limited) experience is that it doesn't always get voltages right either).
