sensors reporting weird temperatures
- by Felix
lm-sensors is reporting weird temps for me:
$ sensors

Vcore: +1.10 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +1.74 V)
in1: +1.62 V (min = +0.06 V, max = +0.17 V) ALARM
AVCC: +3.34 V (min = +2.98 V, max = +3.63 V)
VCC: +3.34 V (min = +2.98 V, max = +3.63 V)
in4: +1.83 V (min = +1.30 V, max = +1.15 V) ALARM
in5: +1.26 V (min = +0.83 V, max = +1.03 V) ALARM
in6: +0.11 V (min = +1.22 V, max = +0.56 V) ALARM
3VSB: +3.30 V (min = +2.98 V, max = +3.63 V)
Vbat: +3.18 V (min = +2.70 V, max = +3.30 V)
fan1: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 128) ALARM
fan2: 1117 RPM (min = 860 RPM, div = 8)
fan3: 0 RPM (min = 10546 RPM, div = 128) ALARM
fan4: 0 RPM (min = 10546 RPM, div = 128) ALARM
fan5: 0 RPM (min = 10546 RPM, div = 128) ALARM
temp1: +88.0°C (high = +20.0°C, hyst = +4.0°C) ALARM sensor = diode
temp2: +25.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = diode
temp3: +121.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) ALARM sensor = thermistor
cpu0_vid: +2.050 V
Please note temp3. How can I know what temp3 is, and why it is so high? The system is really stable (which I guess it wouldn't be at those temps). Also, note the really decent core temps, which suggest a healthy system as well.
My guess is that the readout is wrong. On another computer it reported temperatures below 0 degrees centigrade, which was not possible, considering the environment temperature of ~22-24.
Is this some known bug/issue? Should I try some Windows programs (like CPU-Z) and see they give similar results?
