No temperature probes

I'm not sure if this is a kernel issue, but I can't seem to get my temperature readings on Arch. I ran sensors-detect and followed the wiki article just to be safe. lm-sensors said that it detected quite a few sensor modules (or so I thought) but this is the only temperature probe that registers under Arch:

blender ~ $ sensors
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +29.2°C  (high = +70.0°C)

Also, I can't modprobe the coretemp module, which might be an issue:

blender ~ $ sudo modprobe coretemp
ERROR: could not insert 'coretemp': No such device

Does anyone know what this means? Any help is appreciated!

Re: No temperature probes

The module coretemp is for Intel processors. If you don't have an Intel processor, it doesn't load. Even if you have an Intel processor, it doesn't work with older models.
What modules did sensors-detect suggest to load?
Since you have the k10temp-pci module, this

may be the equivalent for coretemp on your machine.

Re: No temperature probes

Thanks for your reply.

I'm running an AMD Phenom processor (AM3) in an AM3 socket, which explains why coretemp failed to load. That's good. I tried modprobing that other module as well, but it was already loaded so after rmmoding it and forcibly modprobing it, nothing changed.

I'll keep looking around and if I find a solution I'll post it here, but for now I'm not sure what else to try.
