Following a cold reboot with the modules in the right order, the
situation is the same as before: fan RPM and pwm work as before, and the
cpu temps are wrong by a significant factor.
Looking closer, sensor{1,2,3} are now set to 2. Setting back to 1 makes
the cpu temps closer to what they should be but are still wrong by a
factor of 1.7 for temp2 and 0.45 for temp3 - temp1 might always be
meaningless as only two temps show in the bios monitor.
Any more advice?
