CPU temperature monitor is a really cool feature... too cool, actually

[magarity]

I have my first Freesnas running nicely except one minor detail. The CPU cores 0, 1 and 2 are all showing in the web interface's temp monitor as a comically low 8.65 C. I rebooted the thing into BIOS which gave a much more realistic 32. Anyone else see this kind of thing?
PS, It is an AMD A6-3500.
PPS, The hard drive temps all look realistic in the monitor, just the CPU is wacky.

I can't say mine is reading anything other than correct. Seems to match the BIOS. I'm guessing someone will chirp up and say it's cause FreeNAS doesnt like AMD but i have no honest answer.

FreeNAS version?

We often see this kind of thing when the hardware is not fully supported by FreeNAS. You need to follow forum gudelines and give us complete software and hardware details so we can try to track down the source of the issue. Please review this guide:

Hi Chris! Yes, I was just asking in a conversational way - I wouldn't expect anyone to try to figure it out on such a older CPU. The system is working great in all other respects!

Thanks. The age is probably not so much the problem though. If you move to a different system board later, almost all the Supermicro system boards should be well supported.

Here is a build list, as an example:

It doesn't need to be new hardware, just something that was a bit more commonly used in servers because that is where almost all the development time is spent.
