Also, the coretemp reading is not really that exact. Especially at low temperatures it can be quite a bit off, as far as I remember by 10 degrees C or more. It is more accurate at very high temperatures. Also, keep in mind that you have a different chip. pwm3_auto_channels_pwm means something completely different on the f71882fg. For that chip, it is not a bit map, but the temperature sensor index. 1..4 in pwmX_auto_channels_pwm reflects temp[1..4]_input.
