-This driver permits reading temperature sensor(s) embedded inside AMD K8 CPUs.
-Official documentation says that it works from revision F of K8 core, but

There can be up to four temperature sensors inside single CPU. The driver
will auto-detect the sensors and will display only temperatures from

If you say yes here you get support for the temperature

This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called k8temp.
