apps to display cpu temp
Hi, I have a Pentium 4 and i have been trying to get "coretemp" and "sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature" to display my Cpu temperture , however i have not had any luck using them Are there any other apps perhaps from ports that reports CPU temp? thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I've been using the port "xmbmon" for that, in combination with device smbus device iicbus device iicsmb device iicbb device iic in the kernel configuration file - on a Pentium 4 system. I haven't tried the sysctl method, because xmbmon did work out of the box. :-) You can also use mbmon for text output. Here's an example from ~/.xinitrc calling xmbmon: xmbmon -g 150x100+0+897 \ -tmin 20.0 -tmax 70.0 \ -cmtmb CPU -cltmb blue \ -cmtcpu CS -cltcpu cyan \ -cmtcs SYS -cltcs green \ -vmin 2.0 -vmax 3.0 -cmvc V -clvc red & Depending on the sensor installation of your particular system, check if the different values do match the hardware. Maybe check from within your CMOS setup for reference values. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Maybe check from within your CMOS setup for reference values. For amd, I use dev.cpu.0.temperature. For some reason, it's 15 degrees off compared to the bios and linux. I used benchmarks/stress along with setting specific frequencies to figure out where linux and where freebsd would hit a temperature limit. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I have a question, is it supposed to be "device iichsmb" or "device iicsmb" like you have listed? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The example listed is from my kernel configuration of that particular P4 system, where it _worked_ properly. I had inserted "device iicsmb" as per kernel configuration notes. The OS in question was 7-STABLE. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

However I've learned something new: "iicsmb" http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=4&topic=ichsmb http://www.unix.com/man-page/FreeBSD/4/iicsmb/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
