And maybe the output makes sense. Here it does that only partially, this is what it looks like: k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +9.9°C (high = +70.0°C) (crit = +70.0°C, hyst = +67.0°C) fam15h_power-pci-00c4 Adapter: PCI adapter power1: 86.04 W (crit = 95.04 W) nct6775-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter Vcore: +0.93 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +1.74 V) in1: +1.66 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM AVCC: +3.30 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM +3.3V: +3.30 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM in4: +0.06 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM in5: +1.86 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM in6: +0.06 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM 3VSB: +3.42 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM Vbat: +3.50 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM fan1: 1155 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8) ALARM fan2: 1054 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 128) ALARM fan3: 540 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 64) ALARM fan4: 0 RPM (div = 128) SYSTIN: +37.0°C (high = +0.0°C, hyst = +0.0°C) ALARM sensor = thermistor CPUTIN: +37.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor AUXTIN: +127.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) ALARM sensor = thermistor cpu0_vid: +0.000 V intrusion0: ALARM Wonko
