That comes from lm-sensors. Hmmm. Since I have my stuff built into

Also, this is a desktop not a laptop just in case it matters.

a) building the sensor stuff into the kernel is stupid
b) yes
Why is it stupid? I been using Linux for years and have no modules
except for nvidia and don't think I ever have either. What difference
does it make if it is a module or built in?

because sometimes the only thing to get a device back in working order is to
remove the driver and reload it. Easy with modules. Not with built in drivers.
Sometimes you have to try/use different options. Easy with modules, but a
reboot with built in drivers.
Rule of thumb: everything you need to boot built in, everything else modules.
Results in the least problems.
Well, having them built in has worked all these years. If I have a
driver problem, I get a new kernel. Solves that problem.
