[SATLUG] CPU Voltages

[Chris Lemire]

Here is a picture of my bios PC Health screen. Is the voltages on the left supposed to match with the voltages on the right? What is the CPU Core voltage supposed to be? Does this mean lm_sensors was lying?

Compare what you see with the BIOS page that shows the same thing. (Reboot
and browse around for it.) If the BIOS says 3.3v isn't anywhere near 3.3v,
for example, power down immediately and get the box to a competent shop.
They should have the expensive power supply tester to determine what's up
before (more of) the magic smoke escapes, or determine the BIOS/sensors
info is wrong and the CPU is happy.

Frankly I suspect the lmsensors is giving you a bad reading, but as with
human vital signs that far off, this is emergency room time.  --Don
