[lm-sensors] Gigabyte GA-D525 core temps N/A?

[everythingsfree at lineone.net]

Jean,

I've installed and set-up msr-tools after a quick look on-line 
on how to do so ('sudo apt-get install msr-tools' followed by 'sudo 
modprobe msr', let me know if that's missing something) and I get the 
following for your commands:

$ sudo rdmsr -p 0 -x 0x19c
8600000
$ sudo 
rdmsr -p 1 -x 0x19c
8630000
$ sudo rdmsr -p 2 -x 0x19c
8630000
$ sudo 
rdmsr -p 3 -x 0x19c
8600000

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Dave
