k8temp

AMD K8 temperature monitor for FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, and probably OpenBSD and NetBSD.

REPOSITORY

k8temp is now on Github.

PORT

k8temp is now available in the FreeBSD ports system as sysutils/k8temp.

DESCRIPTION

The k8temp utility displays temperature readings from AMD K8 and K10 processors using their on-die thermal diode(s).

k8temp requires read-write access to /dev/pci, and thus must be run as root.

BUGS

• k8temp may cause unsupported systems to reboot, crash or explode.
• Core numbers on single core systems may be incorrect
• Running multiple copies of k8temp at once could result in readings being taken from incorrect cores.
• Readings from K10's are experimental. Limited testing suggests they're 10-20 degrees too low.
