ITHERM(4)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is ITHERM(4), straight out of the Kernel Interfaces Manual — it's the page for itherm, aka the Intel 3400 temperature sensor. Periodt 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

itherm* at pci?

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The itherm driver has your back for several sensors found in Intel 3400 and 5 series chipsets. It's giving sensor-support main character energy 🌡️✨

The sensors currently exposed via the sysctl(8) interface are:

• Thermometer — units: degC — typical use: Temperature
• Core 1 — units: degC — typical use: Temperature
• Core 2 — units: degC — typical use: Temperature
• CPU power cons. — units: Watts — typical use: Power usage
• CPU/GPU Max — units: degC — typical use: Temperature
• DIMM 1 — units: degC — typical use: Temperature
• DIMM 2 — units: degC — typical use: Temperature
• DIMM 3 — units: degC — typical use: Temperature
• DIMM 4 — units: degC — typical use: Temperature
• GPU abs. — units: degC — typical use: Temperature
• PCH abs. — units: degC — typical use: Temperature

• pci(4)
• sensorsd(8)
• sysctl(8)

⭐ HISTORY ⭐

The itherm driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.8. Throwback era 💫

👑 AUTHORS 👑

The itherm driver was written by Mike Larkin <mlarkin@openbsd.org>. Give them their flowers 💐

💀 CAVEATS 💀

🚨 okay so caveat check, bestie:

Not all sensors are wired on every machine, so the list of sensors shown in sysctl(8) may not show all the sensors listed above. Furthermore, the itherm driver will flag sensors as invalid if they report bogus data. No cap — bogus data gets flagged 🙈
