The driver 53 will refuse to load on these revisions unless you specify the "force=1" 54 module parameter. 55 56 Due to technical reasons, the driver can detect only the mainboard's 57 socket type, not the processor's actual capabilities. Therefore, if you 58 are using an AM3 processor on an AM2+ mainboard, you can safely use the 59 "force=1" parameter. 60 61 There is one temperature measurement value, available as temp1_input in 62 sysfs. It is measured in degrees Celsius with a resolution of 1/8th degree. 63 Please note that it is defined as a relative value; to quote the AMD manual: 64 65 Tctl is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to 66 control cooling systems. Tctl is a non-physical temperature on an 67 arbitrary scale measured in degrees. It does _not_ represent an actual 68 physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies 69 the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must 70 supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case 71 temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation. 72 73 The maximum value for Tctl is available in the file temp1_max. 74 75 If the BIOS has enabled hardware temperature control, the threshold at 76 which the processor will throttle itself to avoid damage is available in 77 temp1_crit and temp1_crit_hyst.
