The voltages have a compute statement that allows you to adjust the
values to get accurate readouts, but I don't see the same thing for temp
readings. In your /etc/sensors.conf, go to the section that starts with:
chip "w83782d-*" "w83627hf-*"
Uncomment the lines:
# set sensor1 1
# set sensor2 2
# set sensor3 3435
one at a time.
The default sensor type is a thermistor (3435), which is not working for
you, so try type 1 and 2 and see if you get better readings. Try the
different values for each sensor (eg: set sensor1 1, then set sensor1
2), and after each change, do a 'sensors -s' then a 'sensors' and see if
you can get closer to the readings you saw in BIOS.
If you figure out which temp is which, you can add something like:
label temp1 "CPU1 Temp"
label temp2 "CPU2 Temp"
label temp3 "MB Temp"
to your /etc/sensors.conf file so you can keep track of which temp is
which.
