Re: Monitoring temperature with acpi (sysctls)

I need to be able to get the cpu and fan information from my motherboard, however none of the monitoring utilities in the ports seems to support my motherboard (Supermicro PDSMi, Intel E7230 (Mukilteo) Chipset). On my older VIA based motherboards and some Nvidia, i can get this information using ACPI and the hw.acpi.thermal sysctl. This however is not available on this motherboard. Would this be a shortcoming of the motherboards ACPI implementation, or a lack of support by freebsd?

Similar problem to me here with a ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe. The older versions of this motherboard type like A8N-SLI Deluxe and maybe A8N-SLI Premium had thermal zones in ACPI output, but not the A8N32-SLI. No temperature, no fanspeed, no thermal zones.
