[gentoo-user] Pentium D Temperature and Frequency Scaling

[Richard McCombie]

Hi,

I'm trying to monitor the temperature of my CPU in Gentoo. I have a
Pentium D 3.00GHz.

I tried compiling my kernel with the coretemp module but this won't
modprobe (which, I imagine, is because the module is exclusively for
Core chips).


Also, I have CPU frequency scaling set up (using the ACPI Processor
P-States driver). I have a minimum frequency of 2400000 and a maximum
frequency of 3000000 - both of these were present by default. My PC
correctly switches between the lower and upper frequencies depending
on how busy the machine is (using the ondemand governor) but I would
like to know whether there should be any lower frequencies in the
'scaling_available_frequencies' file; 2.4GHz seems a little high as a
minimum frequency.


Thank you in advance,
Richard
