Thanks.  After some further digging, I wonder whether Aravind's recent
patch might help?  The apu does have both PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_16H_M30H_NB_F3
and PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_16H_M30H_NB_F4 and lspci reports no driver for the
F4 device.

Aravind would have to comment; my understanding is that the F4 device
reports the power, not the temperature. You could try to apply the patch
and see if it makes a difference. Worst case there will be no change ;-).

Right, F4 is for reporting power values.
The recent patch was a bug fix for fam15h_power, so I don't think that's what you are looking for..

GR>  Does the temperature increase with load ?

It seems to max out w/in a kelvin or two of the room's ambient temp.

Even under load ? Sounds weird.

Yeah, I have not come across such odd behavior neither. So not able to tell you what might be wrong..

Question of course is if the chip really
reports a useful temperature in the first place; this is something I can
not answer, since I have neither a datasheet nor a system with that CPU.

Yes, the values reported are accurate and AFAIK there are folks who are interested to look into temperature/power values reported by hwmon, so I guess it's useful :) I shall try and ask around if someone knows anything about incorrect values being exposed in the registers and let you know.

Thanks,
