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.
I've already run sensors-detect. The output of sensors looks like: k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +30.0°C it8712-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter VCore 1: +1.30 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) VCore 2: +2.59 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) +3.3V: +3.33 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) +5V: +2.66 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +6.85 V) +12V: +12.10 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +16.32 V) -12V: -8.09 V (min = -27.36 V, max = +3.93 V) -5V: -5.46 V (min = -13.64 V, max = +4.03 V) Stdby: +4.38 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +6.85 V) VBat: +3.15 V fan1: 2057 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8) fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8) M/B Temp: +25.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = transistor CPU Temp: +26.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = transistor Temp3: +36.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = thermal diode cpu0_vid: +0.000 V
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.
I've found the temperature and fan speed readings given by sensors to be very useful. I have a quiet fan and use fancontrol to control its speed, and use the System Guard widget on the panel to see the current Temp3 and Fan1 values. That is, I used to, up until the update from SUSE 10.1 to 11.0.
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.
My motherboard is a Gigabyte K8NNXP nForce3 150 with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ CPU. It uses a ITE IT8712F-A chip. See (eg.) http://tw.giga-byte.com/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=16... http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/roundupmobo/gigabyte-k8nnxp-nforce3pro15... http://www.ocworkbench.com/2003/gigabyte/k8nnxp/k8nnxpgallery2.htm The web page you referred me to says this has been supported by the it87 driver since lm-sensors 2.6.0 and kernel 2.5.69.
