Thank you for responding. So this reading is actually the CPU temp?
It's the only k10temp reading returned but it's labelled for pci.
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +23.5°C (high = +70.0°C)
(crit = +90.0°C, hyst = +88.0°C)
Here is output from sensors-detect.

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
Module cpuid loaded successfully.
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... Success!
(driver `k10temp')
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h power sensors... No
Intel digital thermal sensor... No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
VIA C7 thermal sensor... No
VIA Nano thermal sensor... No
Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... Yes
Found `ITE IT8718F Super IO Sensors' Success!
(address 0xe80, driver `it87')
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no): y
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/NO): y
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): y
Using driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:14.0: ATI Technologies Inc
SB600/SB700/SB800 SMBus
Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `it87':
* ISA bus, address 0xe80
Chip `ITE IT8718F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 10h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
it87
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!
Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)y
Successful!
Monitoring programs won't work until the needed modules are
loaded. You may want to run 'service module-init-tools start'
to load them.
Unloading i2c-dev... OK
Unloading cpuid... OK

Hi I have a Biostar a780l3g motherboard with a Phenom II 840 processor.
I have Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit installed and current patches (kernel
3.5.0-30-generic). I installed lm-sensors and ran sensors-detect, it
properly detected the k10 sensors. But when I run sensors the output is
as follows:
bruce@bruce-A780L3G:~$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +32.0°C (crit = +127.0°C)
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +23.5°C (high = +70.0°C)
(crit = +90.0°C, hyst = +88.0°C)
I was hoping to be able to read core temps, but I don't think either of
these are that.
k10temp is the CPU core temp. The value might be different from what you
expect because these embedded sensors have very poor accuracy in low
temperature ranges. What the above value really means is that your CPU
is properly cooled and you do not have to worry about overheating
(unless the value gets close to 70°C under heavy load.)
It does not appear that Biostar provides Linux chipset drivers, although
your FAQ indicates this should be supported in this version of the
kernel.
What "chipset" are you talking about, please?
Is there something I am doing wrong or is the board just not
supported? The sensors did work in Windows 7 in a variety of programs,
so I don't think there is a hardware issue.
What monitoring chip do these programs report? I can't help you further
without the complete output of a recent version of sensors-detect (for
example http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/files/sensors-detect) on
your system.
