								All these processors have a sensor, but on those for Socket F or AM2+,
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								the sensor may return inconsistent values (erratum 319).  The driver
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								will refuse to load on these revisions unless you specify the "force=1"
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								module parameter.

							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								Due to technical reasons, the driver can detect only the mainboard's
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								socket type, not the processor's actual capabilities.  Therefore, if you
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								are using an AM3 processor on an AM2+ mainboard, you can safely use the
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								"force=1" parameter.

								There is one temperature measurement value, available as temp1_input in
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								sysfs. It is measured in degrees Celsius with a resolution of 1/8th degree.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								Please note that it is defined as a relative value; to quote the AMD manual:

								  Tctl is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  control cooling systems. Tctl is a non-physical temperature on an
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  arbitrary scale measured in degrees. It does _not_ represent an actual
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								The maximum value for Tctl is available in the file temp1_max.
							 |

							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								If the BIOS has enabled hardware temperature control, the threshold at
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								which the processor will throttle itself to avoid damage is available in
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 |

								temp1_crit and temp1_crit_hyst.
