Amd Phenom II 840 Sensors

lwfitz · 2012-08-14 20:31:31

I was checking out what sensors I had available to show in a conky and I want to make sure Im reading this correctly.
Heres the sensors output

luke@crunchbang:~$ sensors
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +12.5°C  (high = +70.0°C)
                       (crit = +70.0°C, hyst = +68.0°C)

radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +48.0°C  

f71889ed-isa-0600
Adapter: ISA adapter
+3.3V:        +3.33 V  
in1:          +0.88 V  (max =  +2.04 V)
in2:          +1.10 V  
in3:          +0.87 V  
in4:          +0.60 V  
in5:          +1.27 V  
in6:          +1.55 V  
3VSB:         +3.34 V  
Vbat:         +3.25 V  
fan1:           0 RPM  ALARM
fan2:        1144 RPM
fan3:           0 RPM  ALARM
temp1:        +24.0°C  (high = +255.0°C, hyst = +251.0°C)  ALARM (CRIT)
                       (crit = +255.0°C, hyst = +251.0°C)  sensor = transistor
temp2:          FAULT  (high = +255.0°C, hyst = +251.0°C)
                       (crit = +255.0°C, hyst = +251.0°C)  sensor = transistor
temp3:        +31.0°C  (high = +255.0°C, hyst = +253.0°C)  ALARM (CRIT)
                       (crit = +255.0°C, hyst = +253.0°C)  sensor = transistor

Looks like this is my hard drive temps

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +12.5°C  (high = +70.0°C)
                       (crit = +70.0°C, hyst = +68.0°C)

This is Video card

radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +48.0°C

And this is where Im not sure

f71889ed-isa-0600
Adapter: ISA adapter
+3.3V:        +3.33 V  
in1:          +0.88 V  (max =  +2.04 V)
in2:          +1.10 V  
in3:          +0.87 V  
in4:          +0.60 V  
in5:          +1.27 V  
in6:          +1.55 V  
3VSB:         +3.34 V  
Vbat:         +3.25 V  
fan1:           0 RPM  ALARM
fan2:        1144 RPM
fan3:           0 RPM  ALARM
temp1:        +24.0°C  (high = +255.0°C, hyst = +251.0°C)  ALARM (CRIT)
                       (crit = +255.0°C, hyst = +251.0°C)  sensor = transistor
temp2:          FAULT  (high = +255.0°C, hyst = +251.0°C)
                       (crit = +255.0°C, hyst = +251.0°C)  sensor = transistor
temp3:        +31.0°C  (high = +255.0°C, hyst = +253.0°C)  ALARM (CRIT)
                       (crit = +255.0°C, hyst = +253.0°C)  sensor = transistor

Ok I understand the voltage, fan and the fault on temp2 (I think its a bad sensor) but it is saying that for temp1, temp2 and temp3 that critical temps are 255.0°C? If google did their math right then thats close to 500°F. This doesnt sound right to me but maybe Im wrong........ it has happened before neutral

Edit:
After doing some homework I found the max operationg temp for this cpu is 71°C (159°F). Any idea why such a high max would be showing with the sensors output?

I'm leaning towards that FAULT maybe causing that weird output.

Have your contacted DELL?

That's just a tad too hot for a computer!

225°C = 437°F -- still WAY to high!

im pretty sure k10-temp is cpu sensor for AMD cpu's not hard drive
i dont think lm sensors gives hd numbers, that would be through hddtemp

look in /etc/sensors3.conf

that is where the numbers come from

have a look here about renaming what you see in the sensors output

Sorry about the delayed response. I totally forgot about this neutral

This is actually on a custom built machine (amd phenom II x4). Im having a similar issue on another machine. Really odd.

@ mrpeachy

Thanks Ill check that out.

xe3tec · 2012-10-02 10:49:58

Did you do a sensors-detect?
Btw ignore the temps, on AMD its often wrong. And besides, your system will automatically halt if the cpu heats up too much.

RIGHT! Just as it fries the CPU.

Big Bullshit. Its very hard to fry a cpu. Far before that happens your system would freeze and guess why there is a "Cpu Temp Alarm" Option in every fracking Bios. Under 80°C is not even close to dangerous.
Besides it seems you never done any overclocking, otherwise you'd know...
Same goes for GPU. My older passive Radeon went up to 120°C, which is not critical. After 5 years still working like a charm.

and btw: lwfitz should just check cpu temp in bios and see there that is it probably about 40-50C which is fine...

I think k10temp is the CPU, radeon-pci the GPU, and f71889ed-isa-0600 the general chip for monitoring temps across the mobo. It probably measures temps near the heating sinks and so on, so 225 is no problem.

the 225 etc are obviously reading errors...

This bug report suggests you're right: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/l … 28718.html

Yes I did and Im not worried about the temps for stability reasons. I wanted to have the output in conky big_smile A little added bling is all.

Yeah I was mistaken in what I originally thought the placement of the sensors was, Remember that 225 is Celsius so that would be 437F......... Thats just a tad hot I believe.

For conky try {hwmon0 temp1}. That's the mean temperature as reported by the acpi subsystem.

@lwfitz

This is what I'm running for my conky (check my sig) I'm running a home built system that is really close to yours.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: To add
I set this up from posts I read from mrpeachy and Sector11 on other forums...
These guys know their $h*t when it comes to tweaking conky looks like el_koraco has a really good handle on it also.

@ xe3tec

Regardless of what you say, and the language you used to say it, I still have the 'burned out' AMD Athlon64 here that I had to replace. Also I don't have sound on by default, I have some really cheap speakers that hiss and crackle more then they should.

And you are correct, I have never done any over clocking, never seen a need to.

My CPU went from a safe zone to red hot (seen in conky) in a split second, and my computer died!

Now that's my experience, and it cost me way too much at a time I couldn't afford it because there were no CPU's available with the "939 Socket". If you had read my post you would have seen that because of health problems I was having it never dawned on me that the volcanic ash falling on us was affecting my computer - I was more worried about my lungs thank you!

So no bull about it, to quote you:

Its very hard to fry a cpu.

you didn't say it's impossible! Guess what ... I fried mine! If you have a problems with that please take it somewhere else. Every now and then I have to plug into a machine to help me breath - long term affects from the ash.

Thanka guys. Maybe I wasnt totally clear. I know how to get conky to show my CPU temp but the sensor output is not correct. So no matter what I put into conky (if its pulling the lm-sensors info) will show the wrong info. It will show temps that are not correct.

So I guess is there a way to pull temp info without using lm-sensors?

el_koraco · 2012-10-02 22:55:51

It seems to me the CPU and GPU temps are recorded correctly. Also, I don't think hwmon is a sensors output.

Total brain fart...,,,, I was bouncing between computers (both amd) and got their ouputs mixed up. Sorry about that. GPU and CPU temps on this one seem ok, maybe a little low, but close enough.
The main issue with this one was the max temp was saying like 450F and that didnt seem right.

I will post the output of the other AMD computer when I get back over to it. That one is really wonky. Thanks for the help.

el_koraco · 2012-10-02 23:11:58

As I linked, it's a driver issue, nothing to worry about. You can sed and grep and pipe the other temps to conky.

Believe me I'm not going to argue with you here because I'm a total noob when it comes to all of this.
When I run sensors in a terminal my readings are within .5 degrees from my hwmon conky readings.
Could it be a difference in MB's?
Do some MB's have sensors for different parts of the MB?
Just trying to understand all I can.
