[lm-sensors] Strange temperature of AMD FX4100 cpu and power consumption

[Andreas Hartmann <andihartmann@01019freenet.de>]

Hello,

I'm getting this temperature after more than one hour of activity
(mostly idle, load of the machine is: 0,11, 0,17, 0,21):

sensors
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +14.5°C  (high = +70.0°C)
                       (crit = +70.0°C, hyst = +67.0°C)

14.5°C is completely impossible as the surrounding temperature is
> 20°C.


fam15h_power-pci-00c4
Adapter: PCI adapter
power1:       85.74 W

I read about this value, which would be the power consumption of the
CPU. If this would be correct, my cpu wouldn't be a cpu but a light bulb
:-) and the fan would most probably run on maximum speed non stop (which
it doesn't do - it's running on minimum).

CPU:       AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor
Board:     Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3
Bios:      Award F11 05/17/2012
Kernel:    3.4.10-1.1-desktop 64 bit (openSUSE)
lmsensors: sensors-3.3.2-55.1.x86_64


Do you need more information about the hardware? Feel free to ask!




Thanks for any hint,
kind regards,
Andreas Hartmann
