The incorrect values may just mean you don't have the sensor and you have to ignore the value.

Look for "w83627hf" and you should find where to change it a few dozen lines below. However, it is supposed to work with 782d/783s only. You still can give it a try, though. If it doesn't work, you may just want to suppress the output for values that don't make a sense for you. To do this, you'll have to add "ignore" lines in /etc/sensors.conf. For exemple, "ignore temp3" will remove the "temp3" line. Just make sure you add the line in the right section of the config file, or it won't work. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
