sensors

I'm getting funny readings from sensors:

Computer just switched on, couldn't be overheating already. Motherboard is asus p4p800. Do i need to make changes in /etc/sensors.conf?

This reminds me of a prescott with a bad cooler. If that's the case, and you are using the stock intel cooler, get rid of it ASAP and buy a real heatsink (copper, with heatpipes). And check the airflow in the case...

It's a 2.8e Prescott. These guys just get very hot. I'm informed 60 to 65 degrees is not uncommon for a Prescott. But i'll take your advice and check airfow/cooler nonetheless.

But I checked in the bios and at least sensors is giving the correct temperature for the processor. On the other rows i guess there is something going wrong. How to correct this?

Are you worried for this?

temp3: -48.0°C (high = +80°C, hyst = +75°C) sensor = thermistor

Similar readings are due to the thermo-resisters not to be connected to the chip: it's not a bug, nor a defective MB (I get -127C° on an old GigaByte MB). You can safely ignore that line, as well as the one reporting 0 rpm for a fan (there's no fan, I suppose...).
For the "ALARM", you can read this

yes, you'll need to edit several lines

open /etc/sensors.conf with your editor of choice ( I use Vi )

scroll down until you find the section for your Windbond chip W83627thf

edit the values for MIN & MAX

1. +12V min= 10.2
max= 13.8

2. +3.3V
min 2.97
max= 3.63


3. +5V
min 4.5
max 5.5

4. M/B
hi=95
hyst=60

5. VCore
min=1.20
max=1.425


comment out any lines for unused fans


save & re-run sensors -s
then run sensors
this should clean-up several of the alarms

Ok thanks Navychief.

I'm now running at this:

# sensors

I guess VBat is the motherboard battery voltage? I know it's dead, so that's all right then

Could it be that my -12V line is just wired wrong?

Finally the 3.3V line seems rather unstable, slipping over it's treshold value of 3.47V ever now and then. Is that a problem?

here's a link for the sensor chip, it's only 142 pages! have fun

http://www.winbond-usa.com/products/...W83627THFd.pdf

as for the rest of the alarms/ and funky readings, if the P/C is still running ! who cares
