  41. Description
  42. -----------
  43. This driver permits reading of the internal temperature sensor of AMD
  44. Family 10h/11h/12h/14h/15h/16h processors.
  45. All these processors have a sensor, but on those for Socket F or AM2+,
  46. the sensor may return inconsistent values (erratum 319). The driver
  47. will refuse to load on these revisions unless you specify the "force=1"
  48. module parameter.
  49. Due to technical reasons, the driver can detect only the mainboard's
  50. socket type, not the processor's actual capabilities. Therefore, if you
  51. are using an AM3 processor on an AM2+ mainboard, you can safely use the
  52. "force=1" parameter.
  53. There is one temperature measurement value, available as temp1_input in
  54. sysfs. It is measured in degrees Celsius with a resolution of 1/8th degree.
  55. Please note that it is defined as a relative value; to quote the AMD manual:
  56. Tctl is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to
  57. control cooling systems. Tctl is a non-physical temperature on an
  58. arbitrary scale measured in degrees. It does _not_ represent an actual
  59. physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies
  60. the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must
  61. supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case
  62. temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation.
  63. The maximum value for Tctl is available in the file temp1_max.
  64. If the BIOS has enabled hardware temperature control, the threshold at
  65. which the processor will throttle itself to avoid damage is available in
  66. temp1_crit and temp1_crit_hyst.
