Thermal sensors

Overview

The PS2 has a thermal sensor IC in proximity to the EE (or EE+GS, depending on the revision).

On consoles with a Dragon MechaCon (SCPH-5XXXX and later), the thermal sensor is connected to the MechaCon and the temperature can be read from software. On earlier consoles, the thermal sensor is connected to the SysCon and the temperature can (currently) not be read from software.

LM56

Used on GH-001 and GH-003. (What about GH-008?)

LM74

Used on GH-004, GH-005, GH-006, GH-007, GH-010, GH-012, GH-013, GH-014 (What about GH-008?)

LM70

Used on GH-015, GH-016, GH-017, GH-019, GH-022

LM71

Used on GH-023, GH-026, GH-029, GH-035

PS2 hardware in PS3

COK-001 has unpopulated pads for a thermal sensor next to EE+GS. COK-002 doesn't have any temperature monitoring capabilities next to GS.
