Thanks.  That sent me on a couple of hours' quest through lm_sensors
and settings for a ten year old motherboard (hint: in 10 years, the
config language has changed slightly, and so has the character set).

CPU core:    +1.68 V  (min =  +1.66 V, max =  +1.84 V)
DDRAM:       +1.34 V  (min =  +1.17 V, max =  +1.33 V)   ALARM
3v3 I/O:     +3.33 V  (min =  +3.14 V, max =  +3.47 V)
+5V:         +4.93 V  (min =  +4.76 V, max =  +5.26 V)
+12V:       +12.10 V  (min = +11.39 V, max = +12.61 V)
-12V:       -12.81 V  (min =  -7.17 V, max = -16.76 V)
-5V:         -8.29 V  (min =  -2.48 V, max = -10.02 V)
Stdby:       +5.17 V  (min =  +4.76 V, max =  +5.26 V)
CPU Fan:    2343 RPM  (min = 1599 RPM, div = 4)
BOX Fan:       0 RPM  (min =  897 RPM, div = 8)  ALARM
IT87 Temp:   +44.0\302\260C  (low  = +15.0\302\260C, high = +55.0\302\260C)  sensor = thermistor

I don't actually know where the thermistor is.  Some overclockers were
saying that it is closer to the KT400 chip than the CPU.

Some of the voltages look questionable.  But maybe the readings are
wrong and maybe the specs of my actual components differ from what the
config file specifies.

Of course a bad voltage could explain why one of the TV tuners in this
box (out of four) wasn't working properly.
