added bug #160542 for "sensors" of 10.0 generating false alarms for my nForce4 bases mainboard. Maybe someone can check the current "sensors" package for his/her hardware...
The sensors package can not be adjusted automatically for every mobo, as the wiring of the "sensor" chips is different each time. In my experience of 2 mobos (one nforce4), sensors default settings were both utterly useless. You will need to make an /etc/sensors.conf for your mobo model. A correct file for a Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 is on my website.
Btw your bug report isn't going to help anyone. lm_sensors expects everyone to edit sensors.conf for their mobo, you obviously haven't done it yet.
As you pointed out what I have not done, but not where I can read what I should have done, this message doesn't help me much. I don't want to study electrical engineering before I can use some monitoring software. (You do not state where you got your wisdom from, so don't complain if someone else dies stupid) Regards, Ulrich
