hi,

after i setup lm_sensors on my gentoo amd64, i ran sensors, and got
the below output

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:      +61.0 C  (high = +74.0 C, crit = +100.0 C)

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1:      +61.0 C  (high = +74.0 C, crit = +100.0 C)

This is the sensor inside the CPU. The kernel doesn't know how to interpret this value on non-mobile CPUs, and it's usually off by 10C to 15C on desktop CPUs.


CPU Temperature:   +49.0 C  (high = +90.0 C, crit = +125.0 C)

This is the sensor on your motherboard that resides directly under the CPU. This an accurate temp and the kernel knows exactly how to interpret the values.
