No. It is impossible to interpret the sensor readings without knowledge about how they are wired up. Since motherboard manufacturer typically do not release that information, lm-sensors relies on best guesses for known systems. They are often way of for unknown systems. > My system runns stable and in bios every parameter is in range. That is the important aspect. The BIOS is modified by the motherboard manufacturer, so it can interpret the sensors correctly. If your readings where correct, the system would already be up in smoke :-) > Do I have to spend time on this and if yes where to start? You can tweak /etc/sensors.conf until the readings are similar to the BIOS values. But I would first ask with the lm-sensors project whether someone has already done that for your motherboard. Thomas
