Nope. K8temo is the CPU temperature provided directly from the CPU. It may be +-5C different from "real" cpu temp > On it8712-isa-0d00 the +voltage readings seem perfect but the -12V and > -5V voltages read out as positive values.

The -5V and -12V maybe are not monitored at all please check some compute formulas in /etc/sensors.conf (only motherboard manufacturer knows the scaling factors, you may use the "ignore" statements to ignore it) Maybe the fan is too low and there might be some overflow ... Please increase the fan divisor. you may do that: set fan1_div 8 In correct section of /etc/sensors.conf Then save the file and run sensors -s to "apply" the changes and run sensors again. > The system is slightly unstable, but not consistently so.

The temp of CPU looks good. Maybe the chipset needs to be cooled better? Is the chipset fan ok? > How can I tell if my sensors are bad or if I just need to put a compute > line in my sensors.conf? Check above please. In general the wiring of voltages depends on board manufacturer. Your voltages looks OK. Maybe you will need stronger PSU because the fast changes of voltage levels remains hidden. I would suggest to replace the PSU, if you receive just SIGSEGV and no real lockups I think there might be some issues with the nvidia driver. Please try the X.org one. Hope it helps, Rudolf
