Actually, sensors (lm_sensors) gives me mostly bogus values on all 
machines that I tried it recently, although I ran a successful 
sensors-detect. The only thing which seems to be correct are fan speeds. 
voltage and temperature are way off (if they were true the machine 
wouldn't start up at all or burnt to death). Is there anything I have to 
do after the sensors-detect run?
