There is only 0ne solution, you have to find out what's wrong and what's right. Use a calibrated voltmeter and measure the voltages on your motherboard. The sensors on your motherboard are not calibrated ,have a tolerance and are aproximately right. Have a nice day, Hans Bob S wrote:

Hello SuSE people,

Been trying to get my sensors.conf file to report accurately on my system. got most of it squared away except for two alarm conditions. In the second column of the 3.3V line it shows +0.45V. The -12V line shows +0.80V. Why is that? Are they supposed to be the actual voltages? That is not what the bios reports. Anyone straighten me out here?

Here is the output of sensors.

It would be good to read http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ section 3. Problems. http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3 Short: Sensors will show what you set in sensors.conf, and that can be correct or out of way.

Are they supposed to be the actual voltages?

This would be explained in the begin of /etc/sensors.conf and probably in above FAQ. Short: For some implementations it is actual voltage, for others reduced value to fit in the range from 0 to 5 V.

That is not what the bios reports. Anyone straighten me out here?

Write down BIOS reports and post it here. Also the section of /etc/sensors.conf that is used with your sensor: chip w83627thf-* or chip w83627thf-isa-* if you made any changes. Default has no "isa-" part. What is your motherboard and chipset? What tells lspci -v

Here is the output of sensors.
