Have looked at Phenom docs and it doesn't seem to have the DTS register that exists in all K8s.
There is some sort of register with a temperature, but it doesn't report an absolute temp (meaning it doesn't report the actual CPU temp). It is a single value for the whole CPU, and it's useless as it doesn't tell you the actual temperature of the CPU.

The Brisbane chips, for whatever reason always report incorrect temperatures. I don't know why, but it's just the way it is
Core Temp doesn't do anything with the data it recieves from the processor (which is supposed to be accurate in the first place) and just displays it to the user in an understandable way.
