| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| This driver permits reading of the internal temperature sensor of AMD |
| Family 10h/11h/12h/14h/15h/16h processors. |
| |
| All these processors have a sensor, but on those for Socket F or AM2+, |
| the sensor may return inconsistent values (erratum 319). The driver |
| will refuse to load on these revisions unless you specify the "force=1" |
| module parameter. |
| |
| Due to technical reasons, the driver can detect only the mainboard's |
| socket type, not the processor's actual capabilities. Therefore, if you |
| are using an AM3 processor on an AM2+ mainboard, you can safely use the |
| "force=1" parameter. |
| |
| There is one temperature measurement value, available as temp1_input in |
| sysfs. It is measured in degrees Celsius with a resolution of 1/8th degree. |
| Please note that it is defined as a relative value; to quote the AMD manual:: |
| |
| Tctl is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to |
| control cooling systems. Tctl is a non-physical temperature on an |
| arbitrary scale measured in degrees. It does _not_ represent an actual |
| physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies |
| the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must |
| supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case |
| temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation. |
| |
| The maximum value for Tctl is available in the file temp1_max. |
| |
| If the BIOS has enabled hardware temperature control, the threshold at |
| which the processor will throttle itself to avoid damage is available in |
| temp1_crit and temp1_crit_hyst. |
| |
| On some AMD CPUs, there is a difference between the die temperature (Tdie) and |
| the reported temperature (Tctl). Tdie is the real measured temperature, and |
| Tctl is used for fan control. While Tctl is always available as temp1_input, |
| the driver exports Tdie temperature as temp2_input for those CPUs which support |
| it. |
| |
| Models from 17h family report relative temperature, the driver aims to |
| compensate and report the real temperature. |
