Strange result in ls-sensors??

I installed the lm-sensors just the wiki was told.
But the result is so strange:

it8712-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1: +1.18 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
VCore 2: +2.61 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
+3.3V: +3.30 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
+5V: +5.13 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +6.85 V)
+12V: +11.90 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +16.32 V)
-12V: -16.56 V (min = -27.36 V, max = +3.93 V)
-5V: -6.50 V (min = -13.64 V, max = +4.03 V)
Stdby: +6.85 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +6.85 V) ALARM
VBat: +3.12 V
fan1: 1757 RPM (min = 664 RPM, div = 8)
fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8)
fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8)
M/B Temp: -55.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = transistor
CPU Temp: -2.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = transistor
Temp3: +65.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +80.0°C) ALARM sensor = thermal diode
cpu0_vid: +1.388 V

Why the cuptemp and the m/b temp get this temp??

I use conky to check my cpu temp
but there was no cpu temp displayed and said there is no sh cputemp: command not found cpuspeed: command not found ?

How can I get the real cpu temp and fanspeed??

Sorry for my poor english! ><!!:D

normally, negative temperatures mean those channels are not monitored, so you can safely ignore them.

But what worries me is the high temperature of your CPU, the temp3. If it's in idle state, 65 is way higher than normal. If it's under full load, it's somewhat acceptable but still slightly higher than normal. You probably want to clean the dusts of your case, make better ventilation, and also make sure install cpufreq, whose instruction can be found in Wiki.

sorry, What's the temp3 meaning?I'm afraid of the high temperature so I need to monitor the cpu temp ~!!:D

#The cpu is intel p4 630 just bought from 2nd hand (replaced the celeron)

Seems as Temp3 might be your cpu!

I would restart the computer, enter the bios, and look at the "hardware monitoring" and see what the bios reports the cpu temp at.

But I found that the 'temp3' did not match the bios temperature , which one is the "true" temperature of the cpu??

In my experience this is a really hit or miss area of Linux. Some motherboards have very good support in lm-sensors, but many times it's a total mess of freezing cold to extremely hot, meaning that lm-sensors doesn't have its support yet.

However if ever worried a check in BIOS will reveal if there's something to be worried about.
