if you dont know if the temperature is correct, then you will need another device to measure the temp on the cpu and then compare with the one you see on sensors.
I dont remember the name of the thing, but you can get one fairlly cheap on any electronics shops.

I'm not sure this was discussed yet as I didn't read all the posts, but I think that setpci stuff killed two powersupplies. I started using it with my year old powermax and acheived amazing cooling results. One could hear the computer and fans speed up when used. I was amused and happy for about a month. Then my ps died. Well, I didn't make any connection to the setpci command yet and went out and got another ps. This time an off-brand from a local vender. It lasted about a month also. While running this command I did notice how my voltages seemed to fluxuate frequently and sometimes by large percentages. So, when cheapy bit the dust I went out and got a 100 dollar antec true power - but not running setpci with it! It's winter here anyway and my computer helps heat the house! 
Anyone else seen this kind of result? |

i have a Bt878 TV-Card and after i enabled this cooling i see lots of with stripes on the screen(only in the tv window) and in the moment i disable it the stripes go away and the picture becomes clear. i'm using the program
tvtime-0.9.10-r1
so what to choose: hight temperature and a goot picture quality
or: low temperature and bad picture quality
sorry for by bad english 
edit: i solved it, i just emerged xawtv and it works fine...
now my cpu is running @ 25°C and i'm happy  |

Sorry if this was said before but there is a program that does the job for you: It's masked but I have used it for months when I used Debian and there were no problems. I have a KT400 chipset.
