  Hello all,
I'm trying to figure out what is the _HOT temperature on my particular
  processor. I'm running FreeBSD 10 GENERIC on a Sunfire X2200.
  
  The processor is an Dual Core AMD Opteron 2218.
  
  In the GENERIC kernel, acpi is built in; so, kldload acpi fails. I've
  also loaded the amdtemp module at boot time to figure out what the
  current temp of the processor is.
  
  With all of that, when performing `sysctl -a` I never seem to be able to
  pull up the _HOT value. 
  
  Are there any suggestions on how to be able to view it?

Many thermal zones seen, including some CPUs, don't specify any _HOT 
value, just _PSV and _CRT, which should trigger passive cooling (eg 
clock slowing or throttling) and emergency shutdown, respectively.

What says 'sysctl hw.acpi.thermal' ?

cheers, Ian

  The result is as follows:
  
  sysctl: Unknown oid 'hw.acpi.thermal' : No such file or directory

Sorry Eric, I know nothing about the Suns, and should have noticed. 
Suggest showing 'sysctl hw.acpi' and waiting for someone with a clue.

cheers, Ian
