      Sweet, thanks for the code, it worked like a charm, appears within 2 degrees of mbmon at any one point.  Looks like I need to throw some arctic silver on the heatsink.  This is fan at 32

        I had my fan set at 52 on a Pentium M 735 and at 37C. On high load, it will come up to 50. Im not worried about the $7 processor so much as having the system lock up when I am away. lol

            I'm building my wgxepc script for reboot.  Can I pass two parameters in one command?
            /usr/local/bin/WGXepc -l green -f 30

            or do I pass each argument on its own line?
            #!/bin/sh

            /usr/local/bin/WGXepc -l green
            /usr/local/bin/WGXepc -f 30

              Only one parameter at a time. My coding skills very limited.  ;)
              I use the shellcmd package instead of an RC script. It is stored in configuration file so it survives a firmware update.

                @stephenw10:

                Nice.  :)
                Let me know if it seems stable. It should be identical to mbmon but like I said another user found mbmon giving bad numbers after several days. Also mbmon has 0.5°C accuracy but I didn't both reading that register so it's only 1°C accurate.  ::)

                Steve

                7 days of uptime and still displaying the correct temp. So far everything appears stable.

                  Hello,

                  just installed it and runs fine.

                  Does anyone need the output of

                  pciconf -r pci0:31:0 0:256
                  ```?

                    Thanks for offering but the X1250e is identical to the other boxes we have tested already. So unless you have some odd variant we already have the info. Since the program recognises your box already it seems it's using the same board.  :)

                        It ended up here: https://github.com/stephenw10/WGXepc

                        And here if you want to test it on one of the newer devices.

                          Hi,

                          Thanks @stephenw10 for your tool.

                          I packaged it in a widget, to use it with the web interface and automatically change the fan speed depending on the temperature.

                          For those interested: pfSense-Watchguard-widget

                          Best regards

                            Ah, nice. 👍
                            For the X-e boxes only I assume? Pretty sure I never added temperature reading to any others.
                            Edit: Forgot the XTM8.

                              Yes, I only have a firebox X750e, so I only make this widget for my usage :)
                              But don't hesitate to make a pull request if you want add more compatibility
