[ale] lm sensors success...

[Joseph A. Knapka]

I just built and installed this on my K6-2-500, and here's what comes
out:

w83781d-i2c-0-2d
Adapter: SMBus ALI15X3 adapter at e800
Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter
VCore 1:   +2.46 V  (min =  +3.32 V, max =  +3.66 V)       ALARM  
VCore 2:   +2.44 V  (min =  +3.32 V, max =  +3.66 V)       ALARM  
+3.3V:     +3.55 V  (min =  +3.13 V, max =  +3.45 V)       ALARM  
+5V:       +4.99 V  (min =  +4.72 V, max =  +5.24 V)              
+12V:     +11.59 V  (min = +11.36 V, max = +12.58 V)              
-12V:     -11.89 V  (min = -11.33 V, max = -12.55 V)              
-5V:       -5.06 V  (min =  -4.74 V, max =  -5.24 V)              
fan1:        0 RPM  (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)              ALARM  
fan2:     5973 RPM  (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)                     
fan3:        0 RPM  (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)              ALARM  
temp1:    +19 C   (limit = +60 C, hysteresis = +50 C)        
temp2:    +18.5 C   (limit = +60.0 C, hysteresis = +50.0 C)        
temp3:    +208.0 C   (limit = +60.0 C, hysteresis = +50.0 C)        
vid:      +3.50 V
alarms:   Chassis intrusion detection                             
beep_enable:
          Sound alarm disabled

It seems to me some of this has got to be just BS. Temp3 is
WAY beyond reason, but the chip and heatsink are cool as
cucumbers to the touch. Even if the sensor is reporting
in Fahrenheit and lm-sensors is mislabeling the value, I
think it's wrong. Then there are the Vcore values. The mobo
manual says a K6-2-475 should have vcore set to 2.4V, but
doesn't mention the 500Mhz version. Does it require
3.5V?

Thanks,

--Joe

It seems like you're not in terribly good shape there.  I had found that the -5 mobo alarm had been disabled and I initally suspected the tech at GIM who assembled the machine had tried to pull one over on me but it turns out that for some weird reason that alarm and the -12 alarm were disabled by default.

If you can touch the heatsink for some arbitrarily long amount of time, then the sensor is just plain wrong.  The other temps look reasonable.
