I've added that as a comment to the default configuration file, together
with another Gigabyte motherboard.

This seems to confirm what other people are reported so far (temp3 and
2.5V have ready-to-uncomment ignore lines).

> my vcore value is around 1.73V (manual shows bios screen shot with 1.6

This depends on the CPU so we cannot write anything about this in the
configuration file.

Yes, thanks for reporting.

FYI, I recently noticed that the voltage conversions were not correct,
resulting in theoretically slightly lower readings than should have be
(when compared with what the BIOS says, for example). Had you noticed
this? This is fixed in lm_sensors CVS for 2.4 kernels, and there is a
patch pending for 2.6 kernels, here:

Feel free to give it a try and tell us how it works for you.

Thanks again.
