someone, mistakenly responding to me, suggested k8temp. I have no
experience with that, though.
k8temp was superseded by amdtemp in around 8.0-8.1 release (I think).
Though it doesn't matter when both don't work.
True, also I didn't know k8temp was superceded by amdtemp, just passing
on a suggestion.
I've managed to get some data from onboard ITE chip. Accuracy is a
really big concern and I doubt it can be trusted. But I've measured
idle/load temperatures by software and additionally using infrared
thermometer when I was building the machine and when I see approximately
the same values I'm thinking it is okay.
Another indirect method for me is to monitor fans. When I can see all of
them working fine and environment temperature is known to be within
reasonable range then I can expect CPU temperature to be quite
predictable. To use this you have to trust your thermal compound as may
dry with time loosing its capability to transfer heat effectively.
I'd just be happy to get it displaying in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.
