| 33 | Description | |
| 34 | ----------- | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | This driver permits reading of the internal temperature sensor of AMD | |
| 37 | Family 10h and 11h processors. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | All these processors have a sensor, but on older revisions of Family 10h | |
| 40 | processors, the sensor may return inconsistent values (erratum 319). The | |
| 41 | driver will refuse to load on these revisions unless you specify the | |
| 42 | "force=1" module parameter. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | There is one temperature measurement value, available as temp1_input in | |
| 45 | sysfs. It is measured in degrees Celsius with a resolution of 1/8th degree. | |
| 46 | Please note that it is defined as a relative value; to quote the AMD manual: | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | Tctl is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to | |
| 49 | control cooling systems. Tctl is a non-physical temperature on an | |
| 50 | arbitrary scale measured in degrees. It does _not_ represent an actual | |
| 51 | physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies | |
| 52 | the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must | |
| 53 | supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case | |
| 54 | temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation. | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | The maximum value for Tctl is available in the file temp1_max. | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | If the BIOS has enabled hardware temperature control, the threshold at | |
| 59 | which the processor will throttle itself to avoid damage is available in | |
| 60 | temp1_crit and temp1_crit_hyst. |
