I too can confirm that it reports incorrect temperatures.
I have a Q9450, and this is my "sensors" output:
it8718-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
<snip>
temp1: +44°C (low = +127°C, high = +127°C) sensor =
thermistor
temp2: +22°C (low = +127°C, high = +60°C) sensor = diode
temp3: -2°C (low = +127°C, high = +127°C) sensor =
thermistor
vid: +0.000 V
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +44°C (high = +100°C)
coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1: +44°C (high = +100°C)
coretemp-isa-0002
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 2: +43°C (high = +100°C)
coretemp-isa-0003
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 3: +41°C (high = +100°C)
temp2 is the cpu temperature(matches bios), temp1 is the northbridge(i
think, bios says "system temp").
i have watercooling, and well :P when i touch the "tube", its normal
room temperature, and believe me, i would notice if it was 45.. this is
with my cpu at idle - at full load on all 4 cores, temp2 says 35, and
~60 on coretemp, and THIS i would surely be able to notice over room
temp :)
any progress on this bug?
