Programming / Re: An XWorkplace CPU Temperature Widget for AMD CPUs
« Last post by Lars on March 30, 2025, 01:14:01 pm »Bad news: I found the document for Family 15h AMD CPUs and not for Family 19h as I claimed (and I updated the test proggie accordingly).
According to what I found on the internet, the document for Family 19h (Zen Architecture, including Ryzen CPUs) is under NDA (thank you AMD). Therefore, I can only hope that it works as it did for Family 15h but I am not optimistic. They seem to change the mechanism to read CPU temperature pretty often.
I think all of this is a hopeless case. Doug, if your system properly supports reading the temperature via ACPI, then this is certainly the best way to go. Does the conventional CPU Temperature widget of the monitor widget classes work for you ? That is based on ACPI. I yes, an AMD CPU specific widget is completely unnecessary for you.
