Default determine CPU temperature
Hello!

What there is a unique, a general method of fetching of statistics on CPU
temperature in FreeBSD? At "general" method - i mean is available in view of excluding
vendor-specific healh-agents with their vendors lock-in API.

As i know some way for this: smb(4) (for old PC?), coretemp(4) (this is for
new and only Intel hardware ?) and ipmi(4) if available, so each machine
customize for temp statistics throuch individual setup for source data?

And it is necessary to prefer what data if it is some given. For example 2
commands on host give diffrent result:
(With 'ipmitool')

Quote:
% ipmitool sensor |egrep "[0-9]++ Temp"
CPU 1 Temp | na | degrees C | na | na | 74.000 | -128.000 | -48.000 | na | na
CPU 2 Temp | na | degrees C | na | na | 74.000 | -128.000 | -48.000 | na | na
<< i get 74C on my CPU1 and CPU2

(with coretemp(4) i get individual per-core sensor)
Quote:
% sysctl -a |egrep -E "cpu\.[0-9]+\.temp"
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 38
dev.cpu.1.temperature: 45
dev.cpu.2.temperature: 42
dev.cpu.3.temperature: 69
ipmi/coretemp facility is fetching information for CPU from diffrent sensors?

And how much correctly with coretemp(4) to receive the general temperature
(one number as in Bios) if average(sum(core temperature)) / (num of core) ?
Thanks in advance!

I use this on 7.0:

Code:
# sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature
I don't know if this is general enough for you, but at least it is not vendor specific.

Unusable for me too:

What is your processor? I have an Athlon 64 X2 6000+ myself, and the only thing that seems to work is sysutils/k8temp. Even so, there is some discussion about how to interpret the offset corrections.

So then I'm wrong! I thought this was new in 7.0, because I didn't find it on 6.1. But that was another machine.

hail,

I have a pretty old cpu and this works fine:

[xxx@xxx /usr/home/xxx/bin]$ cat tz.sh
sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature
[xxx@xxx /usr/home/xxx/bin]$ ./tz.sh
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 43.5C

[xxx@xxx /usr/home/xxx/bin]$ dmesg | head -12

hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature - its unknown OIDs for my system but coretemp is usable:
Quote:

% sysctl -a |grep temper
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 60
dev.cpu.1.temperature: 60
dev.cpu.2.temperature: 64
dev.cpu.3.temperature: 64
As i understand from man acpi_thermal(4) OID hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature produce by some acpi module
Quote:
ls /boot/kernel |grep ^acpi
acpi.ko
acpi_aiboost.ko
acpi_asus.ko
acpi_dock.ko
acpi_fujitsu.ko
acpi_ibm.ko
acpi_panasonic.ko
acpi_sony.ko
acpi_toshiba.ko
acpi_video.ko
For me all of this acpi_* (particularly acpi_asus) not correct for me (Motherboard is Asus P5N64) no one gets OIDs.

BTW, hw.acpi.thermal.tz%d.temperature - it temperature for CPU? Not motherboard sensor?

Hi, I have servers on Intel Xeon CPU, but
Quote:
sysctl -a | grep tempe
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 8.3C
this is wrong, than to take temperature on this cpu ?

The problem you are seeing with the acpi thermal zones is the fact that FreeBSD may not fully support the ACPI information given to it, especially if the motherboard has only been tested with Windows.

Other reasons for seeing values that never change is because the BIOS is using the ACPI data to control the fans and ACPI is given false information so that the OS does not attempt to modify the fan speeds based upon this data.

The reason some of you may not have the thermal zones is because the motherboard does not export them in ACPI and thus they are not useable.

For most of my motherboards I use mbmon from the ports tree, works like a charm on most of my systems.

X-Istence, you may be right as far as your comments go.

But some programs, like sysutils/k8temp, read straight from the processor according to documentation from AMD, so the whole issue of ACPI and motherboard is bypassed. I suppose similar programs exist for Intel processors. The surprising thing is that the correct interpretation of readings and offset corrections still seems to be troublesome. At least, with the googling I have done, I have not found any definitive answer. Like sT4k3 I find that the core temp reported is sometimes below ambient temperature, which simply cannot be the case.

And, FWIW, mbmon does not work on my current system.

I never went as far as to insinuate that ACPI was required for everything. Yes, software exists that reads it directly from the hardware in question bypassing ACPI, which is the only way to get valid data most of the time. I was just pointing out the flaws in ACPI and while it is a standard way to get data from a motherboard for some odd reason not everything is supported everywhere causing problems as a whole.

As I don't have an Intel cpu on my desktop, but I have an Asus mb, as an alternative to k8temp:

# kldload acpi_aiboost
Code:
$ sysctl -a | grep aiboost
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.%desc: ASUStek AIBOOSTER
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.%driver: acpi_aiboost
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.%location: handle=\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.ASOC
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=ATK0110 _UID=16843024
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.%parent: acpi0
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.temp0: 510
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.temp1: 300
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.volt0: 1312
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.volt1: 3328
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.volt2: 4919
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.volt3: 11430
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.fan0: 2960
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.fan1: 0
dev.acpi_aiboost.0.fan2: 0
I guess the temperature should be divided by 10.

AMD Phenom 9550 - none of the existing kernel modules or ports utils work, so I wrote my own to interrogate the ITE IT8718F super i/o chip environment controller on the Gigabyte motherboard

Code:
root# it8718fd -v
Found an ITE IT8718F (id 0x8718, version 0x05) at special address port 0x2e

System 41C
CPU 37C
Northbridge 85C

CPU 2039 rpm
System 0 rpm
Northbridge 5400 rpm

Vcore    1.06
VDDR     2.00
+3.3     3.23
+5       4.95
+12      11.49
-12      -11.86
-5       -6.85
VSB      0.00
Vbat     3.18
It can also be run as a daemon with output via syslog:

Code:
Mar  3 21:24:22 shadow it8718fd: Temp 41, 37, 85; RPM 2020, 0, 5443; Volts 1.06, 2.00, 3.23, 4.95, 11.49, -11.86, -6.85, 0.00, 3.18

Mbmon - nice motherboard monitor with different access methods ("VIA686 HWM directly"|"SMBus"|"ISA I/O port").

# mbmon -I -c
Temp.= 31.0, 51.0, 0.0; Rot.= 2678, 3750, 2083
Vcore = 1.36, 3.15; Volt. = 3.26, 5.13, 11.98, -14.59, -7.71

When I run the command: sysctl -a | grep tempe
I get the following...

Code:
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 42
dev.cpu.1.temperature: 41
dev.cpu.2.temperature: 45
dev.cpu.3.temperature: 45
Are these values in CELSIUS or FAHRENHEIT? I can't recall the last time I cleaned my cooling fans so I'm wondering if I should.

45C is fine, but cleaning your computer won't hurt
