I think you forgot to check the FAQ and in particular:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3#Isetnewlimitsanditdidntwork

indeed - I remember having read that before, but just forgot ..

now setting the limits does work for jc42 _min and _max values, however not for _max_hyst (although the setting seems to exist)

The latest config file:

bus "i2c-0" "SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0b00"

chip "jc42-i2c-0-18"
        label temp1 "DRAM_0"
        set temp1_max 60
        set temp1_crit 70
        set temp1_max_hyst 65

chip "jc42-i2c-0-19"
        label temp1 "DRAM_1"
        set temp1_max 60
        set temp1_crit 70
        set temp1_max_hyst 65

and the latest output
karsten:~/temp$ sudo sensors -s
Error: File /etc/sensors.d/jc42.conf, line 7: Failed to set value
jc42-i2c-0-18: At least one "set" statement failed
Error: File /etc/sensors.d/jc42.conf, line 14: Failed to set value
jc42-i2c-0-19: At least one "set" statement failed

(actually I get the same error message for the K10temp _min & _max settings, but maybe these are hardwired?)

Honestly, you are a very pleasant user to deal with.

Thanks.. I try my best not to look too stupid, as I'm really a Linux beginner..

best regards -
