I need to be able to get the cpu and fan information from my 
motherboard, however none of the monitoring utilities in the ports seems 
to support my motherboard (Supermicro PDSMi, Intel E7230 (Mukilteo) 
Chipset). On my older VIA based motherboards and some Nvidia, i can get 
this information using ACPI and the hw.acpi.thermal sysctl. This however 
is not available on this motherboard. Would this be a shortcoming of the 
motherboards ACPI implementation, or a lack of support by freebsd?
