In the BIOS one sees: CPU fan 3139 RPM System Temp 32C System Fan 0 RPM The Room temp is about 20C, so no way any measured temperature below that is real, and from the BIOS, anything below 32C is suspect. In the sensors output below the first "acpitz-virtual-0" sensor seems to be entirely spurious, and all of the k8temp-pci measurements bogus as well. (This is a single CPU, dual core machine.) The it8716 device is the only one with a few values which seem to be in range, some possibly by chance, and the only one which looks spot on is Fan1 for CPU fan.
