CPU temperature using sysctl
I'm trying to get CPU temperature from the terminal using sysctl.
Command:
sysctl machdep.xcpm.cpu_thermal_level
Output:
machdep.xcpm.cpu_thermal_level: 0
But the given temperature is not correct(Original temperature is: 51c).
How does the temperature is calculated by sysctl? Sometimes the temperature is 0.
Why the temperature is wrong?
Thank you.
I think that's the CPU throttling, not temp - see here: -
What does machdep.xcpm.cpu_thermal_level mean?
This shows your temps:-
sudo powermetrics --samplers smc
