| 87 | Description |
| 88 | ----------- |
| 89 | |
| 90 | This driver permits reading of the internal temperature sensor of AMD |
| 91 | Family 10h/11h/12h/14h/15h/16h processors. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | All these processors have a sensor, but on those for Socket F or AM2+, |
| 94 | the sensor may return inconsistent values (erratum 319). The driver |
| 95 | will refuse to load on these revisions unless you specify the "force=1" |
| 96 | module parameter. |
| 97 | |
| 98 | Due to technical reasons, the driver can detect only the mainboard's |
| 99 | socket type, not the processor's actual capabilities. Therefore, if you |
| 100 | are using an AM3 processor on an AM2+ mainboard, you can safely use the |
| 101 | "force=1" parameter. |
| 102 | |
| 103 | For CPUs older than Family 17h, there is one temperature measurement value, |
| 104 | available as temp1_input in sysfs. It is measured in degrees Celsius with a |
| 105 | resolution of 1/8th degree. Please note that it is defined as a relative |
| 106 | value; to quote the AMD manual:: |
| 107 | |
| 108 | Tctl is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to |
| 109 | control cooling systems. Tctl is a non-physical temperature on an |
| 110 | arbitrary scale measured in degrees. It does _not_ represent an actual |
| 111 | physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies |
| 112 | the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must |
| 113 | supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case |
| 114 | temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation. |
| 115 | |
| 116 | The maximum value for Tctl is available in the file temp1_max. |
| 117 | |
| 118 | If the BIOS has enabled hardware temperature control, the threshold at |
| 119 | which the processor will throttle itself to avoid damage is available in |
| 120 | temp1_crit and temp1_crit_hyst. |
| 121 | |
| 122 | On some AMD CPUs, there is a difference between the die temperature (Tdie) and |
| 123 | the reported temperature (Tctl). Tdie is the real measured temperature, and |
| 124 | Tctl is used for fan control. While Tctl is always available as temp1_input, |
| 125 | the driver exports Tdie temperature as temp2_input for those CPUs which support |
| 126 | it. |
| 127 | |
| 128 | Models from 17h family report relative temperature, the driver aims to |
| 129 | compensate and report the real temperature. |
| 130 | |
| 131 | On Family 17h and Family 18h CPUs, additional temperature sensors may report |
| 132 | Core Complex Die (CCD) temperatures. Up to 8 such temperatures are reported |
| 133 | as temp{3..10}_input, labeled Tccd{1..8}. Actual support depends on the CPU |
| 134 | variant. |
