'board' is the internal adm1021 temperature. 'CPU' is the remote sensor. If you have that LM79 error you have a libsensors problem, make sure you don't have old libraries around (see FAQ). Look at your board to verify what chips you have.

That makes sense, because CPU temp is 0 on the first one, but > what are the "Board" temps? Also, the cpu temp seems to jump around a > lot, is that normal for a PIII?
