On my computer it is still the /etc/sensors3.conf that is not good. 
I can see values where min is larger than max value. You can see what sensors 
reports with command:
 sensors

If there is no output than you should run 'sensors-detect' that will install 
kernel drivers, and then adjust whatever is the resulting /etc/sensors3.conf 
to show reasonable values. 

So far I know, sensors is not really supported by manufacturers of 
motherboards. The problem is when sensor chip on the motherboard is connected 
in a different way than reference design, given by chip vendor. That is the 
reason I don't use them much, and if I do, than only for values that I can 
check in BIOS health monitor (or similar named part of BIOS), and windows 
utility that can be found on motherboard web site with BIOS updates. 

See:
 http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices
for the list of supported hardware. Note that if it worked in 10.1, it doesn't 
mean that it gave correct values for all parameters.
