[ale] lm sensors success...

[jhubbs at telocity.com]

Uh, not just Vcore2 but your -12 is alarming (literally) and you -5 looks right on the edge.  I had a similar problem with a Deer power supply - the -5, in my case.  It seems like you're not in terribly good shape there.  I had found that the -5 mobo alarm had been disabled and I initally suspected the tech at GIM who assembled the machine had tried to pull one over on me but it turns out that for some weird reason that alarm and the -12 alarm were disabled by default.  

Temp3 looks WAY high, if it's accurate.  You should be able to boil little drops of water on the heatsink if that's true; I can't imagine a CPU surviving that.  If you can touch the heatsink for some arbitrarily long amount of time, then the sensor is just plain wrong.  The other temps look reasonable.  

FWIW, a while back I was trying to figure out why my Athlon 700 box was locking up when I ran it hard - I replaced iffy PS and mobo, swapped out RAM, retrofitted massive cooler, nothing worked.  So, I underclocked the FSB to 90 MHz (For an "Athlon 630") from the BIOS and the lockups went away.  Right now, I'm running at 95 MHz, one notch down from nominal, with the RAM ratio set to 4:3, and I'm okay - SETI at Home work units continue apace!  Soon I want to wind it back up to 100/700 and see how it does.  If it works fine when I do, I'm going to chalk it up to electrical voodoo - or, to use the Bill Cosby phrase, I must have "blown out the gunk."  

Oh, yes, for a while there, I was seriously considering putting in a waterblock...
