Hi i was wondering how could i read the CPU's temperature. I tried putting 0x19C in the ECX register and then calling rdmsr (to get IA32_THERM_STATUS) but the destination registries (EDX:EAX) are empty. I am using Pure64 operating system.

    What CPU model do you have? Are you running this in a VM or emulator? It might not pass through any thermal stuff, even if your code is otherwise correct. – Peter Cordes May 23 '20 at 21:13
  • Model: 48 Model name: AMD A10-7850K Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G. I am running this on QEMU. – NICOLAS FRANCO RAMPOLDI May 23 '20 at 21:25
  • QEMU might not pass through that MSR: https://www.redhat.com/archives/vfio-users/2016-June/msg00112.html indicates that it didn't in June 2016. Does QEMU log about unimplemented MSRs? – Peter Cordes May 23 '20 at 21:55
