- Description
- -----------
- This driver permits reading of the internal temperature sensor of AMD
- Family 10h and 11h processors.
- All these processors have a sensor, but on older revisions of Family 10h
- processors, 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.
- 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.
