This may be the reason # for many reports of k8temp giving absurdly low CPU core # temperatures and for there being no generally accepted # computation to derive actual temperature from the raw data. # The workaround is to ignore core temperatures and use the # CPU case temperature as was done before core temperatures # were available. On this motherboard the CPU case temperature # is reported by the it8718 chip's temp2 (see above). # For CPU revisions other than F and G, the proper use of # k8temp temperatures may be to compute an average for each # core rather than to report two temperatures for each core. # For a sample computation see mingus' posting at # http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sls-archives/archives-suse-linux/archives-hardware-support/381563-lm-sensors-2.html#post1793098 # If you don't trust the readings, you might as well not load # the k8temp driver (which, in practice, means blacklisting it, # as this driver auto-loads on most systems.
