Sensors Explanations

Hello,
I am trying to get some information from the sensors on my pc. But i get confuse with what i get.
I don t know where to find out which sensors watches what..
I use "sensors" under ubuntu 10.10.
Here is the result of the cmd line sudo sensors.
the temp 3 indicates 79°C which makes me wonder what it observes. And globally what do the temp lines exactly watch

it8720-isa-0228
Adapter: ISA adapter
...
in7: +2.98 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
Vbat: +3.22 V
fan1: 2472 RPM (min = 10 RPM)
temp1: +30.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = thermistor
temp2: +41.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +80.0°C) sensor = thermal diode
temp3: +79.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = thermistor
cpu0_vid: +1.250 V

I tried to look into the /etc/sensors.conf file and got those line

Quote:
chip "it87-*" "it8712-*"
label in0 "VCore 1"
label in1 "VCore 2"
label in2 "+3.3V"
label in3 "+5V"
label in4 "+12V"
label in5 "-12V"
label in6 "-5V"
label in7 "Stdby"
label in8 "VBat"
ignore vid
compute in2 2*@ , @/2
compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ , @/((6.8/10)+1)
compute in4 ((30/10) +1)*@ , @/((30/10) +1)
compute in5 (7.67 * @) - 27.36 , (@ + 27.36) / 7.67
compute in6 (4.33 * @) - 13.64 , (@ + 13.64) / 4.33
compute in7 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ , @/((6.8/10)+1)
label temp1 "M/B Temp"
label temp2 "CPU Temp"
label temp3 "Temp3"
it didn't help me much and the label shown suit better to Winbond W83792AD/D section of the same file.. but the first line
of the result indicates it8720-isa-0228.

If someone could help me on the matter, I would be grateful Smilie
