[lm-sensors] P55 Xeon X3440 Incorrect temperature detection?

[lm-sensors] P55 Xeon X3440 Incorrect temperature detection?

[Another Sillyname]

Hi

I today received and built my new P55 Chipset LGA 1156 DFI Motherboard
using a Xeon X3440 processor.

After installing lm-sensors I have two issues.

1.  I can't see the temp of the individual cores which I can on a Core
i7 920 chip?

2.  The CPU temp is being incorrectly reported as at about 21 degrees
C rising at idle rising to about 40 degrees C under load.  The BIOS
reports the chip at about 40 Degrees C at idle (which is what I would
expect to be honest).

I'm running kernel 2.6.31-6 and lm-sensors version 3.1.1 (I know 3.1.2
is released but 3.1.1 is the latest version in rpmfusion).

Any pointers please.

Thanks in advance.

Please help me confirm that whether the CPU model NO. is 30.

AFAIK, the 2.6.31 kernel doesn't support the CPU of model 30 yet. The
patch has been merged into 2.6.32 to enable the sensors.
