A multimeter and a remote thermocouple might help here or reboot and
go into your bios and check the native temps and voltages. Then go
into /etc/sensors .conf and adjust the formulas for the sensors that
are off. It's pretty easy to get sane readings but a bit tricky to
get changes to reflect properly. the lm-sensors project has mailing
lists. You may be able to find someone there with the same
motherboard willing to share their formulas with you. I would send my
settings but your board is different and I had different errors than
you so I wouldn't be able to help.
The temp on your southbridge bothers me. Do you have a heatsink on
it? Can you reach it with the machine running? If so, wet a q-tip
with water and briefly touch it to the southbridge. Does it hiss like
the water is rapidly boiling off? If not, the multiplier is probably
off by as much as a factor of 5. Normally, the chipset will be
somewhere between the case temp and the CPU temp on an idle box. If
the board had onboard video and you're overclocking the video or
running a GLX app, it would heat up, but not that much.
By the way, I don't show a CPU VCore2 temperature. You may have some
extra modules loaded. do:
$ sensors
and post the full output
