[lm-sensors] Funky temperature readings

[lm-sensors] Funky temperature readings

[Per Jessen]

I've got a new Gigabyte board with the AMD 790FX chipset and an AMD Phenom quad-core CPU.  

After having loaded it87, I get three temperature readings - but the  BIOS itself 
is only showing two.  Is this "normal" ?  The third temp reading is quite 
high - usually 84-86C.

sensors-detect reports:

Driver `it87' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * ISA bus, address 0x228
    Chip `ITE IT8718F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

Driver `to-be-written' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * Chip `AMD K10 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)

Your questions are answered here:

http://lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter2#DoIneedtheconfigurationfileetcsensors.conf

You will need to modify /etc/sensors.conf to suit your board.  There are
copious instructions at the top of that file.  If you get stuck, feel
free to reply again w/ specific questions.  HTH.
