Then there are logic errors in the mainboard register values then! As a matter of fact -12.05 is smaller than -11.95, whereas +11.95 is smaller than +12.05!! > Then you can apply a formula to match the gain and the offset of the > amplifiers/resistors on the motherboard.

If I understand you correctly, all main boards have registers for report nominal, min and max values for voltages, temperatures and fan speeds. If this is true, there is no need for a sensors.conf at all? I'm puzzled, please explain, or maybe forward this question to upstream. Thanks (I'm sending this to bug 457545 too, for completeness)
