I instaled lm-sensors and configured it with sensors-detect, but I hardly
believe the output is correct or if it is even sensing "real" values from
the motherboard. I'm on an Athlon 1000 mhz system with a Asus A7V233
motherboard, 256 megs of ram. I'm not a real techie when it comes to
hardware but here's the output from sensors:

VCore 1: +1.82 V (min = +1.74 V, max = +1.93 V)

That's with setiathome running and more or less normal everything else. I
ran cpuburn for a while and didn't see the temp2 raise more than 1/10 of
a degree C. And that +112.5 isn't even plausible.
Being non-metric, I usually don't think too well in Celsius degrees, but
a quick calculation on my trusty HP says the first temp is 82.4 degrees
Fahrenheit; the second is roughly 109 degrees Fahrenheit. I seem to
remember that it shouldn't get over 60 degrees Celsius, and I've heard
that on Athlon's particularly, the read temperature is inaccurate to
begin with, and you need to add ca. 10 degrees to get a ballpark CPU
temperature.
AFAIK my box has not overheated although there was one time when the
internal (i.e., BIOS) setup detected what might have been an overheat and
then promptly shut things down. (I was doing something video-related at
that time.) Anyway, my system has three case fans in addition to the
motherboard fan, and obviously the fan on the CPU is there.
My ;/etc/modules.conf file:
probeall scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias eth0 tulip
above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
probeall usb-interface usb-uhci
options snd_enable=1
alias char-major-178 mga_vid
options snd_enable=1
options snd_enable=1
options snd_max_buffer_size=2 snd_enable=1
(no sensors stuff there?) I figured that's where it would put it.
