If you want to. We can post result in this thread.

What I meant is that you can do whatever math you want on raw values. You get 
those values if /etc/sensors.conf has only one line:
  chip "w83627thf-*"
and than run 
   sensors -s
and than 
   sensors 
Make backup copy of original. Make one copy that has only your chip section, 
it will be easier to edit. 
To create one line sensors.conf run:
    echo chip \"w83627thf-*\" > /etc/sensors.conf

BIOS might not use all values even if they are present. The previous oneliner 
sensors.conf will give you all values that are reported by chip.

This is Vcore, but min and max values are wrong. 
See 
   /usr/share/doc/packages/sensors/vid 
to understand what is going on with this, and your chip driver should be able 
to recognize command
   set vrm 2.4
according to above file put that right below section title:

chip "w83627thf-*" "w83637hf-*"
   set vrm 2.4

Simply wrong input is taken as 3.3 V. From raw values listing and more reading  
it should be possible to find input line.

For CPU temperature you should try other options for sensor 
until you get what BIOS reports. I doubt it is diode, as above report tells. 
*****************************************************************************
# set up sensor types (thermistor is default)
# 1 = PII/Celeron Diode; 2 = 3904 transistor;
# 3435 = thermistor with Beta = 3435

#   set sensor1 1
#   set sensor2 2
#   set sensor3 3435

This has to wait until you see raw values.

MSI is not very verbose about hardware. Maybe if one asks, and explain details 
why they are needed, we can get some information.
