[lm-sensors] Help with readings (k8temp - dme1737)

[Lee Harris]

Hi

I have installed lm-sensors on a remote server as it has been crashing 
every few days and the logs show no obvious OS / software issues.

I have got lm-sensors working I think ( after updating my kernel)

My questions are:
What is RD1 temp ?
Which is the true cpu temp ? Core1 from K8temp or CPU temp from dme1737. 
I ran a kernel compiling loop to 'burn' the cpu a little and both rose 
about 8°C.
But is either a true figure ? Why the 20° difference ?

Sorry I can't give exact info on motherboard model as I have no physical 
access to the server. I will include some lspci output below.
(I have set some sensors to Ignore in sensors.conf as they showed 0)

Thanks for the software.
Lee
