I'm using an athlon II x4 and the amdtemp driver seems like it's 20C below what it really is but does change. I've tried using mbmon and it detects the it87 chip but it never updates. It's as if whatever temps it finds at boot are what it'll always show, and the fan speed listed is a quarter of what it really is. I tried stress linux to test lmsensors to make sure it wasn't a motherboard issue and lmsensors works relatively fine. The voltages are junk but temperature seems accurate and varies with the load. I've yet to see any update about the openbsd sensors framework, and I imagine the patch is so old it won't apply cleanly. Is there a better method to monitor system health under FreeBSD or am I stuck with decade old software and a kernel driver that's off by 20C?
