First, I can't thank you enough for your help. I've learned quite a bit and that's always greatly appreciated. I've read the article and tried to understand it as best as I can. With your suggestions, the article, and the sample config I found that was similar, I've come up with the following config for this system. I did my best to take multiple samples (5 all together) and so far, everything seems to be pretty close. I also tried to vary the load of the system (using stress to try to raise cpu temps and fan speeds.) Unless you see something that's obviously incorrect or concerning, I think I'm gonna go with it. Really, the biggest differences had to do with Vbat and VSB which I'm now ignoring in my conf. The BIOS HW monitor always displays Vbat and VSB at 3.42v where sensors has them slightly above or below. Guessing not a big deal and possibly normal behavior. And, I realize my layout of this conf is probably not standard, but I put it in the order I was figuring it out with comments (some taken directly from your replies) to hopefully remind me of things if needed in the future. ------------------------------------------------------- [root@gateway ~]# nano /etc/sensors.d/MSI-MS-9832.conf chip "f71882fg-isa-0a10" # Ignore - Voltage # The F71882FG uses an 8-bit, 8 mV LSB ADC for voltage monitoring. # This means that it can measure up to 2.04 V directly.
