Are you running the latest BIOS?? .. The lm-sensor output may very well be wrong, as most of the settings are generic. After scanning though the Asus forums for the last month or so (Due to instabilities of my system. Random lockups, and rebooting etc..), I found that a lot of the Asus motherboard problems were due to incorrect RAM timings and RAM Voltage settings.. (I've now setup my board manually using the Corsair specs of my RAM and my system is now rock solid). It seems that the Asus BIOS doesn't set this stuff up properly.. Which can (And will) cause system instability. I was blaming FC5 kernels for this, and I was wrong.. All good for me now... It might be worth checking that out and see how you go with that.. Wolf
