Some BIOSes/mainboard manufacturers implement this on workstations. Otherwise, if you have a Intel Core, C2D, or C2Q CPU, load the coretemp(4) driver. Re: HW monitoring: bsdhwmon can talk to smb(4) (thus ichsmb), but is only intended for server boards (at the time of this writing only supporting Supermicro). Many motherboard manufacturers don't provide a HW monitoring IC -- and if they do, don't state whether or not it's tied in to the SMBus, what its base address is, or memory offsets for the data. "Probing" for such is risky business. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
