[gentoo-user] heat codes

[James <wireless@tampabay.rr.com>]

Hello,

I need to monitor this hardware for temperatures, including logging
of temperatures, on as wide array of temperaturr sensors that is
possible with kernel 3.18.6-gentoo.)

Gigabyte  GA-990FXA-UD3
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor (currently clocked at 4 GHz)
VGA compatible controller Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750 / R7 250E]


Any there any others?
The generic sensor scan stumbled on the radeon card:
probe the I2C/SMBus adapters:
Using driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:14.0: ATI Technologies Inc
SB600/SB700/SB800 SMBus
modprobe: FATAL: Module i2c-piix4 not found.
Failed to load module i2c-piix4.
Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus 0x90 (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively): yes
{through (i2c-7) all failed.

So lm_sensors only found these modules:

MODULE_0=fam15h_power
MODULE_1=it87
MODULE_2=k10temp

Does anyone with similar hardware have a more extensive list?


What I'd really like is a very fast (real time?) gui to watch
these temperatures as certain portions of codes are compile or executed.
I'm working with a several classes of algorithms, like systolic-algorithms
that push hardware resources, particularly cpu, gpu and ram, to
it's limit; therefore the portions of the codes that cause excessive
thermal stresses on these hardware resources, are of keen interest to me.


A local code that puts significant (heat) stress on a system while
compiling, that anyone can test against is, sci-libs/openfoam

Comment, suggests and web based reading resources are all greatly
appreciated. I did find this interesting resource
