The thing that puzzles me is that this low-power mini-ITX board (fanless Brazos E350) is in a full-size ATX chassis (Antec Sonata) which previously held an high-power Athlon X2 board (first with the stock AMD heatsink+fan, and then later with a monster fanless heatsink), so I have a hard time understanding how this low-power board can heat up worse than the other one in the exact same context (same chassis, power-supply, devices, system fan spinning at the same speed, ...). The Athlon X2 barely reached 70°C in the hottest part of the summer, under full load. > BTW, you may have other (unsupported) sensors on the board...

OK, I finally added "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" and loaded the it87 module, which does give me a bit more data: k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +51.6°C (high = +70.0°C) (crit = +100.0°C, hyst = +97.0°C) radeon-pci-0008 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +52.0°C it8721-isa-0a00 Adapter: ISA adapter in0: +3.06 V (min = +1.46 V, max = +1.98 V) ALARM in1: +1.07 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +1.52 V) in2: +2.23 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +1.52 V) ALARM in3: +0.01 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +1.52 V) in4: +1.02 V (min = +1.09 V, max = +0.83 V) ALARM in5: +1.52 V (min = +1.31 V, max = +0.78 V) ALARM in6: +1.12 V (min = +1.69 V, max = +2.69 V) ALARM 3VSB: +3.26 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +3.05 V) ALARM Vbat: +3.24 V fan1: 0 RPM (min = 20 RPM) ALARM fan2: 0 RPM (min = 20 RPM) ALARM temp1: +30.0°C (low = +0.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = thermal diode temp2: -128.0°C (low = +13.0°C, high = -18.0°C) sensor = disabled temp3: -128.0°C (low = -67.0°C, high = -3.0°C) sensor = disabled intrusion0: ALARM So I guess the it87 "temp1" is a "motherboard" sensor. This one always stays much lower than the other two sensors.
