      should i add the line to loader.conf? or would that be bad? Wasnt sure if the .local may not be utilized for some reason? just thinking out loud.

        /boot/loader.conf may change on reinstall; /boot/loader.conf.local is guaranteed to remain untouched by a reinstall.

        You might see an error report on coretemp during the early boot (before the kernel is started).

          Worked just fine on my Jetway MB with pfSense 2.0.2

          coretemp.ko was already in /boot/kernel folder

          Edited all files manually

          – pfSense 2.0.2 Setup --
          Motherboard: Jetway NF99FL-525
          CPU: Intel Atom D525 Dual-Core 1.8GHz
          RAM: 1x2GB Crucial DDR3 1333
          HD: 60GB OCZ Agility 3 SATA III
          PSU: PicoPSU-80
          Case: M350 Universal Mini-ITX enclosure

                I have it working on my Soekris 6501-50 with atom E6xx proc. and i386 pfSense 2.1.
                It shows the temp for 2 cores (hyper threading).
                I have manually edited both .php files
                Works great.

                      Works perfectly in release 2.0.3, which already has included coretemp modules! Only the PHP files need to be modified.

                      I suggest to pull these in for everybody, by default in the installation media.

                        The coretemp modules and a dashboard temperature reading is included by default in 2.1. I don't think it is graphed though.

                            If anyone wants to graph these temperatures in Munin, using the munin-node on pfSense based on this, here's a plugin for that:

                            #!/bin/sh
                            
                            # Plugin to monitor Jetway motherboard CPU temperatures on pfSense controller runtime data. Installation:
                            # - copy this plugin script to /usr/local/share/munin/plugins/, make it executable
                            # - symlink it to /usr/local/etc/munin/plugins/
                            # - restart munin-service
                            
                            case $1 in
                               config)
                                    cat <<'EOM'
                            graph_title CPU Temperatures
                            graph_vlabel Degrees C
                            graph_category sensors
                            cpu_0.label Core 0
                            cpu_1.label Core 1
                            cpu_2.label Core 2
                            cpu_3.label Core 3
                            
                            EOM
                                    exit 0;;
                            esac
                            
                            temp0=$(/sbin/sysctl dev.cpu.0.temperature|awk '{print $2}')
                            echo -n 'cpu_0.value '; echo $temp0|awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'
                            temp1=$(/sbin/sysctl dev.cpu.1.temperature|awk '{print $2}')
                            echo -n 'cpu_1.value '; echo $temp1|awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'
                            temp2=$(/sbin/sysctl dev.cpu.2.temperature|awk '{print $2}')
                            echo -n 'cpu_2.value '; echo $temp2|awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'
                            temp3=$(/sbin/sysctl dev.cpu.3.temperature|awk '{print $2}')
                            echo -n 'cpu_3.value '; echo $temp3|awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'
                            
                            

                            Btw, munin-node works fine on 2.0.3 too.

                              Munin Plugin updated for 8-core cpu temperature (tested on Supermicro A1SRi-2758F):

                              #!/bin/sh

                              # - restart munin-service
                              
                              case $1 in
