I suspect you are using 2.6 kernels and upgraded recently. >From the early days of AS99127F support, temp2 and temp3 have been reporting half the temperature values they should have, for no reason that I could find. In order to present valid temperatures in "sensors", the default libsensors configuration file would multiply them by 2: chip "as99127f-*" (...) compute temp2 @*2, @/2 compute temp3 @*2, @/2 Some times ago I decided to sanitize this and fixed both the w83781d driver (both lm_sensors and Linux 2.6) and the libsensors default configuration file. So if you moved to a recent 2.6 kernel but dit not update your libsensors configuration file (/etc/sensors.conf), the result you obtain was expected. All you have to do is edit /etc/sensors.conf and delete the compute lines for as99127f's temp2 and temp3. If your board required different compute lines before (not just the multiplication by 2), you have to adjust them manually, not delete them. Alternatively you can simly fetch the updated default configuration file here, and start from there: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/etc/sensors.conf.eg Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
