+Description
|
|
|
+-----------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This driver permits reading temperature sensor embedded inside Intel Core CPU.
|
|
|
+Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
|
|
|
+1 degree C. Valid temperatures are from 0 to TjMax degrees C, because
|
|
|
+the actual value of temperature register is in fact a delta from TjMax.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Temperature known as TjMax is the maximum junction temperature of processor.
|
|
|
+Intel defines this temperature as 85C or 100C. At this temperature, protection
|
|
|
+mechanism will perform actions to forcibly cool down the processor. Alarm
|
|
|
+may be raised, if the temperature grows enough (more than TjMax) to trigger
|
|
|
+the Out-Of-Spec bit. Following table summarizes the exported sysfs files:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+temp1_input - Core temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
|
|
|
+temp1_crit - Maximum junction temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
|
|
|
+temp1_crit_alarm - Set when Out-of-spec bit is set, never clears.
|
|
|
+ Correct CPU operation is no longer guaranteed.
|
|
|
+temp1_label - Contains string "Core X", where X is processor
|
|
|
+ number.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The TjMax temperature is set to 85 degrees C if undocumented model specific
|
|
|
+register (UMSR) 0xee has bit 30 set. If not the TjMax is 100 degrees C as
|
|
|
+(sometimes) documented in processor datasheet.
