I am updating the ticket right now. > I have made a few changes that I think label the cpu temps correctly, but > I am pretty ignorant about these things. I think you got it wrong. According to MBM's site, temp1 is the motherboard temp and uses a thermistor, temp2 and temp3 are the CPU temps and use diodes. Try it! This also makes more sense because temp2 and temp3 have a better resolution. > (I have no idea what VID data is!) This is a nominal voltage value provided by the CPU itself. It basically instructs the hardware monitoring chip of what the Vcore value should be, so that low and high limits for Vcore can be set to sane values. The fact that sensors is not able to read it is probably caused by a version mismatch between libsensors and your kernel. See this page for details on recommended version combinations: http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/kernel26.html Thanks, Jean
