In the recent thread "system freezes during compiles", Carlos Henderson showed
the output of $(sensors), among them the output of the k10temp-pci-00c3.
I stopped trusting that sensor. After some hours of idle, it shows me:
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +16.8°C (high = +70.0°C)
(crit = +70.0°C, hyst = +67.0°C)
16.8°C is roughly 4°C _below_ the room temperature. If I'd boot to Windows
right now, the mainboard-manufacturer's system utility shows a CPU temperature
of 25°C (which is more or less the usual value it shows for Windows when
idle).
My CPU is:
processor : 5
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 21
model : 1
model name : AMD FX(tm)-6200 Six-Core Processor
stepping : 2
microcode : 0x6000626
running on an Asrock mainboard (Kernel is a gentoo-3.8.1-r1).
My question to the list is: Could this strange temperature be realistic? Does
anyone have similar observations with AMD-Bulldozers?
