My critical temperatures are near 100C (98C IIRC). From the kernel documentation (On affected machines the module will report "unreliable CPU thermal sensor; monitoring disabled". Brief: This articles discusses two simple ways of monitoring CPU and GPU temperatures in Linux command line. It is merely regurgitation of readily available information. The Lm_sensors, short for Linux-monitoring sensors, is a free software that provides the necessary tools and drivers for monitoring CPU temperatures, voltage, humidity, and fans.
Below are the commands to control it. I would argue that lm_sensors might be more accurate since it appears to be reporting the readings from all available sensors.Yeah, I did in Everest (its "Stability test"). A good number of users are also going for GNU/Linux when it comes to other resource-consuming … Users wishing to deploy lm_sensors on multiple machines can use the following to accept the defaults to all questions: Glances – Monitor CPU and GPU Temperature 2. Mine is an Intel, and I know they instrumented the temperature in the die. You should do a stress test under Linux and check the temps with sensors and see if all four reported temps rise or just two.I have been watching this thread for a couple days. That is a thirty degree rise in junction temperature over ambient. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7. It will ask to probe for various hardware. If 2/3 of that is from the die to the case, I would still expect to see a 4 or 5 degree rise on the surface. This motherboard uses the ITE IT8620E chip (useful also to read voltages, mainboard temp, fan speed). Or do I have to consider at least two temperatures (in case of single core CPU) and it will be seven temperatures to monitor if I have a six-core CPU? If you find that the database is wrong, make sure to tell the lm_sensors devs!One method of checking which core is having which temperature is to bake one of your cores at a time (eg using an infinite loop), and then see which one is being baked.Write an infinite loop in your favourite language, then run the program.
As of October 2014, lm_sensors has no driver support for chip ITE IT8620E This is caused by lm-sensors messing with the Vcom values of the screen while probing for sensors.
It's just about a program being able to By the way, here are temps for idle CPU as shown by Everest:They don't seem to have any connection to lm_sensors's numbers.They don't seem to have any connection to lm_sensors's numbers.Maybe this particular sensor is missing/incorrect in the lm_sensors databse. Some K10 processors have issues with their temperature sensor. You should do a stress test under Linux and check the temps with sensors and see if all four reported temps rise or just two.I'm curious as to what leads you to believe that this Everest is infallible and that the lm_sensors Indeed I think that Everest is more accurate in readings because it's a very high quality professional tool to read hardware specs. The \"safe\" answers are the defaults, so just hitting Enter to all the questions will generally not cause any problems. Here it is not obvious where the right temp is. Mine is an Intel, and I know they instrumented the temperature in the die. I don't believe 29C either. To force monitoring anyway, you can run the following: If I understand it correctly, it's just that it only reports one temp for all six cores.I should have clarified. By default, i8kmon only monitors the CPU temperature and fan speed passively. Offline #2 2014-01-13 23:20:35. anonymous_user Member … I just checked, and my cores are at 48C. And when my Athlon is idle in Windows Everest gives me 33–35°C for CPU (not cores) which is definitely higher than in Arch, which makes me doubt that I have correct numbers in Arch.Please give a hint on how to watch the right numbers in Linux. The actual numbering of physical cores is incorrect: numbered 0, 1, 9, 10 which is repeated into the second CPU. I am dubious about 33C. Besides, there are more temps on the mainboard, like, say, my MCP chipset, which is absent in Arch and present in Everest. What you have said tells me that they are monitoring the case temperature?Eric, I don't understand this stuff at an engineering level, but the CPU temp for processors like mine are considered to start overheating at above 62C. To quickly check the temperature readout of your CPU (and other devices that Lm-Sensors detected), open up a terminal window with Ctrl + Alt + T or Ctrl + Shift + T on the keyboard. Most users expect the core temperatures to report out in sequential order, i.e. If I run "sensors" I havein there to start with. So, you can find out a defective hardware components, and replace it to avoid the system hanging or overheating issues. OK, that's something, but then I boot Windows 7 and fire up "Everest". Create the following file overriding the default values:
This will create the /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors configuration file which is used by lm_sensors.service to automatically load kernel modules on boot.When the detection is finished, a summary of the probes is presented.Example: It should execute on one of the cores (you can see which one on Do this repeatedly, once for each core, until you are sure.If none of the cores in lm_sensor appear to be heating up appreciably, then lm_sensors is probably reporting a different temperature than the CPU temperature so you will have to correct the database. It can also detect chassis intrusions.
