We had a previous report that seems to confirm that: http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg04456.html I also found this report: http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg02813.html but it's less relevant. This is very strange however. I can't get the reason why Asus did this. And, more importantly, I can't see how they would have done that physically. I suspect that Asus is reporting a voluntarily bad value in their BIOS setup screen. I already caught them doing this for temperatures, so after all, why not voltages... I will insert your comment (edited) in our default sensors.conf file. Thanks for reporting. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
