The error messages are gone and sensors now shows a value for source
Unknown28. However, I did not figure out which component's temperature
it corresponds to. It is definitely not one of the three 2-pin
temperature sensor headers on the mainboard, as I swapped external temp
sensors on these without impact on the reported value. The shown value
is in the range of the CPU core temperatures (that is, somewhere
between roughly 30 and 80°C) and varies with 0.5°C resolution.
However - thanks a lot for your assistance. If I may be of help in
further debugging for that particular NCT chip / mainboard, please let
me know!
Thanks,
Stefan
