      You can't use lmsensors in FreeBSD, there's no port as far as I know.

      There used to be an equivalent program or sorts, mbmon, but I think that too is obsolete these days.

      It looks like you have either an odd cpu or more likely an odd BIOS that is returning the wrong values. Not much can be done I'm afraid.

      Does it show correctly in the BIOS hardware health screen?

        The Bios shows the right temperatures:

        System Temperature: 50*C/122*F
        CPU Temperature:    38*C/100*F
        

        The pfSense Dashboard shows 10*C!
        No idea! :-\

              Yeah, what's going on there… Are you sure it's actually a D525?

                I hope so …

                CPU Type:  Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz
                           4 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s) x 2 HTT threads 
                

                Lanner's recommendation was to install lm-sensors and the sent me a config file for this (see sensors3.conf).

                  I also have a FW-7541D, but running Linux, and the "coretemp" module does not work properly with Linux on that box, which I presume is basically what FreeBSD/pfSense uses.  With "coretemp" I get:

                  coretemp-isa-0000
                  Adapter: ISA adapter
                  Core 0:        +8.0 C  (crit = +100.0 C)
                  Core 1:           N/A  (crit = +100.0 C)
                  

                  It would seem using lm-sensors is the only way to to get the temperature, which does work properly.

                    Is it possible to run lm-sensor on FreeBSD/pfSense?

                      No, there is no lmsensors in FreeBSD.

                      The closest thing is mbmon.
                      You would have to manually install that though

                        Do you thing, that mbmon will work. How can I read then the temperature - only via ssh or also on the dashboard?

                        How can I install mbmon?

                          You can try:

                          pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/release_3/All/xmbmon-205_14.txz
                          

                          then

                          rehash
                          

                          then

                          mbmon -D
                          

                          But installing FreeBSD packages isn't recommended.

                              I installed it on my D525 box here and there was no issue. It did't find any hardware though.

                              You can remove it with 'pkg delete X' if you need to.

                              You could just carry on without knowing the exact temperature though. It's probably not important.  ;)

                                  Use a thermometer?  :P

                                  I'm out of suggestions at this point.
