My Intel box, with a real intel serverboard, has a lot of sensors.

Thermocouples for the processors, voltage sensors, tachometers on all
eleven fans, etc...

The 98-104F temps are with crafty running full-bore...

Pv+ is processor voltage, L2v+ is the L2 cache voltage.  The
other voltages should be pretty obvious.  All the fans (1-11)
are RPM values.


      temp    Pv+   L2v+
cpu1   98F   +2.5   +2.0
cpu2   98F   +2.5   +2.0
cpu3   98F   +2.5   +2.0
cpu4  104F   +2.5   +2.0
fans  (1)3180  (2)3000  (3)3180  (4)2640
(rpm) (5)2760  (6)2880  (7)2970  (8)2670
      (9)2550 (10)2550 (11)2580
power +1.5V(+1.5) +2.5V(+2.5) +3.3V(+3.4)
      +5V(+5.3) +12V(+12.0) -12V(-12.3)
