Well I finally figured out which modules need to be loaded for my MSI KT8 motherboard so that lm_sensors can detect the I2C chip. And i got the sensor readings plugged into gkrellm, but a few things are making me worried.
1) My vcore was too low, like 1.45. In my bios it was set to auto, i bumped it up ti manual 1.55 and it keeps a steady 1.52 now (bog). Why was the auto set so low? lm_sensors flagged it and Sandra also flagged it after i investigated further.
2) My -5V reading jumps in and out of alarm range for lm_sensors, and MSI Core Center flags it every once in a while too. It jumps from -5.20 (which is within range) to -5.25 or -5.30 which triggers alarm. Is this damaging anything? My knowledge of the solid state electronics behind power supplies and motherboards is seriously lacking ?
On the upside, my CPU and Case temps are <100'F, CPUFAN spinning > 4k rpms, and all other readings look good lol
