Hi,
The question is, how do I connect the core temp readings to the cpu frequency control? The old userspace cpufreq had command line options for doing that.
Have you tried to use Gkrellm and gkrellm cpu freq plugin ?
I have a valid lm-sensors config ("sensors" tells me the four core temps). I have /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.* and they tell me the right core temps.
It is not absolute temp. it seems 5-10 oC higher than real temp.
It's a pre-built DELL box, no overclocking. When all four cores are running at full speed (3.16MHz) for extended periods, the temp gets up around 85 C and the fans all speed up. I'd rather keep it cooler than that. One way is to reduce the clock speed. Another way is to dust the fans off, which I'll also be doing :-)
You may 1) change cpu heat think, and/or 2) get down cpu voltage(what do you say, i forgot, but many PC vendors do not support this), and/or ..... But you can try '/usr/sbin/fancontrol' if you have fan noise other than high cpu temp. cpu temp limit might be 105oC or so.
