Sensors 1 works and shows the case temperature, but sensor 2 seems to oscillate from about -120 C to about 90 C, and sensor 3 reads from -9 C to -7 C, and sensor 3 seems to be nothing because it doesn't change with the CPU idling or working hard. The voltages are reading correctly, but I just haven't changed their labels to correspond to that of the BIOS. I'll change the fan to remove the warning, but the CPU fan speed can be adjusted by PWM adjustments so I'll probably just change the min, and max spin speed.
