Which version of sensors-detect did you run exactly? Do you know if the Sapphire AM2RD790 has some special chip on the SMBus? I see that this board is "the clear choice for overclocking enthusiasts", maybe some overclocking chip on the SMBus was accessed during SMBus probing of sensors-detect and it didn't like that... Do you have a contact at Sapphire who could answer such technical questions? Was the CPU overclocked at the time you ran sensors-detect? If you can provide the dmidecode output for the Sapphire AM2RD790, maybe we can blacklist it in sensors-detect or even prevent the SMBus driver from loading (we'll need the output of lspci -nnv for that). In the meantime I'll put a note on our website so that other users don't kill their CPUs too. -- Jean Delvare
