I'm getting odd temp readings on an A8-7600 with 3.3.4 and Linus' current kernel.
Eg, the gpu temp shows up when (mostly) idle as:
radeon-pci-0008 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: -1.0°C (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C)
The driver for the Radeon chips is maintained by the radeon driver maintainers, so you might want to ask at dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org (copied with this reply). The driver supports different chips with different methods to read the temperature, so it might help to know which chip is in your system (lspci -nn should tell you).
aka:
radeon-pci-0008 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +32.0°F (crit = +248.0°F, hyst = +194.0°F)
And the cpu temp is similar:
k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +0.0°C (high = +70.0°C) (crit = +80.0°C, hyst = +79.0°C) aka:
k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +32.0°F (high = +158.0°F) (crit = +176.0°F, hyst = +174.2°F)
AMD CPUs are known report wildly off temperatures especially at low temperatures. Does the temperature increase with load ?
