Good question.

When I boot into the BIOS there is a temperature reading that can
be affected by spraying a freezing compound onto the CPU the temperature
shown by the BIOS drops and then rises again. That suggests that the
sensors are working.

I have also tried setting the polling frequency using:

   echo 30 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/polling_frequency

and then checking that value using cat.
