I have an ASrock 880GM-LE FX motherboard with an AMD 8350 cpu. I set up sensors by saying Y to everything and now when I run sensors I get

I have
sensors --version
sensors version 3.3.1 with libsensors version 3.3.1
How can I update the information sensors is using to get something more informative as its output?
Every model of hardware using this chip is different and it's hard to tell from software which reported fan speed is connected to what fan in your case.
lm-sensors
is just concerned about the chip responsible for providing this data and displaying this in a sane way.Change labels and ignore entries
However, it's possible to change the labels and entries listed to match your situation properly. Create a sensors configuration file in
/etc/sensors.d/
, e.g.mypc.conf
and include this:After saving this file, the output of
sensors
should be changed accordingly. The current system default configuration can be found in/etc/sensors3.conf
. Please don't modify this file as you're supposed to override any values in your own files in the.d
directory.Changing ranges for ALARMs
If you feel that the reported values as
ALARM
are within a safe range, you can change that as well. From thesensors3.conf
file I see thatVbat
is actuallyin8
and defined with 10% margin. If you wish to change this, override this as well to become 15% like this:I hope this will get you somewhere in changing the configuration to a point that it's actually useful for your set up! For more information on what you can do in the configuration file, see the manpage:
man 5 sensors.conf
