tempurature on bulldozer

[thirnick]

i have fx6100 on gigabye mobo

trying to find a way to see cputemp without going into bios

ubuntu 10.10 detects this

Found `ITE IT8720F Super IO Sensors' Success!
(address 0x228, driver `it87')

Just install a recent enough kernel:

thank you i was afraid of that!

lmsensors is for checking temperature, not for controlling it. Controlling works via cpu-governours, be sure to enable amd driver an set default governour to ondemand or conservative. You can watch the current state with cpufreq-info.

Additionally cpu itself has overheat protection, so it wont overheat, it will start skipping cycles.

thank you i have frequency scaling enabled
i would like to have coretemp in the panel
a while back i had a temperature applet from
apple that worked but i cant find it anymore
