These describe the voltage your processors use. This is supported
for most processors, however they are not always
correctly connected to the sensor chip, so the readings may be out of
range. A value of +3.5 V is especially suspect.
These describe the core voltage for your processor. They are
supported for most processors, however they are not always
correctly connected to the sensor chip, so the readings may be invalid.
A reading of 0V, +3.5V or +2.05V is especially suspect.
If this is the case, add a line 'ignore vid' to /etc/sensors.conf,
and change the min and max settings for the Processor Core voltage
(often in0_min and in0_max) in that file so that they don't depend on vid.
