This isn't the temperature of "the PCI adapter", the value is from your CPU. This happens to be implemented as a PCI device in AMD processors, which is why you see "PCI adapter" in the output, but this is rather misleading I admit. The reported temperature indeed looks wrong, however it isn't necessarily surprising. This isn't an absolute temperature, but rather a temperature margin from the CPU's max, and it is only accurate when you get close to the limit. So from the above, one can say that your CPU is running very cool ans safe, and that's about it. That being said, I think this is the first report I see for this family of CPU. Andreas, Andre, do you think there's any bug to be fixed here? > I also tried downloading the latest version of sensors-detect from > http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices and rerunning.

If this is a laptop you're probably out of luck. If this is a desktop system, I would expect a hardware monitoring chip on the SMBus or in the Super-I/O chip. Maybe it is too recent and we don't know about it yet. Please provide the full output of sensors-detect. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
