gkrellm shows wrong temperature, sensors shows correct one

[aRTee]

I´m having some probs with gkrellm, and this is not listed as a bug on the gkrellm site http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/Bugs.html, and the only mention of something (very) similar I found on google was: this guys problem...

 

My gkrellm shows:

temp1: 34.0 C

temp2: 22.5 C

temp3: 6.7 C

 

But:

I don´t know what temp3 is supposed to be, but temp1 should be mobo and temp2 should be cpu.

Also, these are the only 3 temps on the system. As far as I know, the temps on gkrellm come from lm_sensors, so if sensors doesn´t show them, gkrellm won´t either.

 

Oh and by the way, I already tried to change the locale to have both the comma ( , ) and dot ( . ) as decimal point indicator, restarted gkrellm, changed stuff in config and back etcetc, to no avail.

 

Does anyone know how to remedy this?

 

Ps also the voltages are slightly off for some values, notably the -5V..

In the gkrellm configuration, adjust the offset or factor values for the temperature or the voltage that you think it is wrong. It seems that the factor values are multiplied by .5 or something. Change the factor value to 1 and the offset value to 0.

Dead on! I didn´t realise it could be so simple, so to check (if it wasn´t just looking like this by chance) I just turned off the temp reduction settings for athlon/duron:

on MSI K7T266Pro (MS-6380) (KT266) and KT333 based Motherboards:

enable:

setpci -v -H1 -s 0:0.0 70=86

setpci -v -H1 -s 0:0.0 95=1e

disable:

setpci -v -H1 -s 0:0.0 70=82

setpci -v -H1 -s 0:0.0 95=1c

to have the temps change, and indeed, it´s just a factor of 2 that I have to put in for the values to be correct (it´s going up to 54 or so); guess I can turn the temp down again.
