[lm-sensors] a few questions about: k8temp, it8712f and atk0110

[Arturas K.]

hi,

I got a few questions related to lm-sensors:

1) as far as I understand k8temp inaccuracies are related to my cpu 
hardware flaws and there is no way to work around it?

2) cpu fan (pwm) reading overflows at low speeds, and shows insane 
values. the sensor chip "it8712f-s 0815-kxs me3c2c l". there are some 
posts about newer versions using 16bits or something like this - does 
this apply on my one? and is it possible to correct the result via 
adjusting sensors3.conf (I prefer not to upgrade/recompile my 2.6.24.x 
kernel)?

3) that is the status for atk0110 ? I got asus m3a780-em motherboard, 
and hope ATK0110 readings will be prone to sensors3.conf errors, or am I 
wrong?

p.s. I am not subscribed to the list, so cc to me please
