Jerry, Thanks for the feedback. I wish I could pin down some of the strange behavior and at least determine if it's in the kernel-side code or in the calibrations used in sensors.conf. I just haven't done the detective work. FWIW, while I'm not sure I trust the temperature calibration either, my Proc Temp does change with load (18.7 idle, 40-ish while compiling the kernel). Hmm...
