36 that line is not from the diode. You need k8temp to read the cpu temperature.
37 Also it is not wrong for all phenom II. Just some.

67 cooled with a little Scythe Shuriken. On idle these CPUs don't need much
68 current, which means that they are pretty cool. Bios says the same. So the
69 temps are close to the truth.
70 (temp 2 is cpu).

76
77 the same sensors. BUT: bios does ZERO powersaving. So the CPU is at its
78 highest clock and highest voltage setting, not even idling, so it sucks much
79 more power.
