After the Dempsey CPU's temperature no longer works via normal motherboard based methods. What you need to do instead is make a driver to talk to the CPU directly. FreeBSD has such a driver called "coretemp": coretemp -- device driver for Intel Core on-die digital thermal sensor So pretty much all newer Intel CPU's need this method used to get temps.
