Hi Alessandro, Any news on the replacement board? I received the C7 datasheet from VIA but it doesn't have much thermal diode related information that could help to determine the correct values for the conversion. Interestingly the C7 incorporates a second thermal diode that can be accessed by SW so we could get something going there. Maybe we can enhance the coretemp driver to support the C7.
