Please can you give a try? great! it works: sensors excerpt : coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter temp1: +62?C (high = +100?C) coretemp-isa-0001 Adapter: ISA adapter temp1: +64?C (high = +100?C) > It seems that there is microcode update for CPUID 06E8 version 0x39 just as my > driver is checking.
