Hi guys,

If I use the cmd: sysctl -a | egrep -E "cpu\.[0-9]+\.temp"

It will only show the temperatures of 2 cores of my AMD Phenom II X4 955 processor?
Is this normal, because it's a quad-core processor.

Any advice please. Thanks.

I think I have the same problem with an AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 620 Processor.

For what its worth im not sure i trust the readout, since it says 0 degrees as well for the temperature. When freenas is starting up i do see something about launched cpu0 to 3 or something. Whats more , uname -a only seems to report 1 cpu. normally i would see the cpu name 4 times in linux corresponding to each core.

for sysctl : I see
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 0.0C
dev.cpu.1.temperature: 0.0C

No temperatures?

I do get temperatures, though it's only 2 cores:

dev.cpu.0.temperature: 35.0C
dev.cpu.1.temperature: 35.0C

I only tested the computer with Freenas, so I am not sure if all cores are working correctly?

//update

Well I checked the log and it should be working correctly:

Jun 8 09:13:29 freenas kernel: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs
Jun 8 09:13:29 freenas kernel: FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s)
Jun 8 09:13:29 freenas kernel: cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0
Jun 8 09:13:29 freenas kernel: cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1
Jun 8 09:13:29 freenas kernel: cpu2 (AP): APIC ID: 2
Jun 8 09:13:29 freenas kernel: cpu3 (AP): APIC ID: 3

So I guess all the cores are working properly, however not all temperatures are being displayed. Oh well, as long as it's working correctly, who cares. :)
