However, sysctl reports wildly different temps: > Why the difference ? Which values are thought to be right or more right > ? TIA & have a good one. BTW: Back in June I asked a couple questions about hardware monitoring packages for reporting temps and fans speed and such. Towards the end of the thread you responded offhand that temp monitoring was quirky on your system: >> To expand a bit, mbmon & healthd seem to agree on (chipset ?) temp, as distinct from amdtemp. However both only report for 2 CPU's (cores ?), while amdtemp reports (wrongly, IMHO) for all 4 (in my case) .... If healthd &/or mbmon would report (accurately) for all 4 cores, I'd love them more :-) .... <<< Are you saying it's worse now, or something else changed...? (I obviously have no worthwhile input on this topic since I didn't even know half these programs existed two months ago, I'm just asking for details since I think you might've left out some important info specific to your setup).
