lm_sensors output seems wrong

Hi all,

My output from lm_sensors seems weird. I'm looking for the CPU temperature which I gather is the second, under k8temp. However, this temperature fluctuates wildly as soon as I do something CPU intensive which leads me to believe the output isn't correct. Surely the temperature can't jump 10 degrees in 5 seconds.

Here's my lm_sensors output:

[~] sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:         +0.0°C  (crit = +94.0°C)

k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:   +68.0°C

I also run the following in conky:

${execi 300 echo $(($(cat /sys/    bus/pci/drivers/k8temp/0000\:00\:18.3/temp1_input) / 1000))}°C

which outputs the same as lm_sensors.

This might be the reason ? : http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/2278

Great, seems there's no fix for it then. Thanks for the link, though! At least I know what's going on with it.

Is there any solution to reading my CPU temp? (AMD Turion 64M)

Re: lm_sensors output seems wrong

I believe that there's some temperature information in /proc/acpi. Maybe have a look around there?
