This is about my new AMD installation.
After finally figuring out how to upgrade just the kernel so as to be able to make pm-suspend work properly, there is one remaining issue I can't seem to figure out, and that is the temperature sensors.
I have lm-sensors installed and this is what it shows:
k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Tctl: +31.5°C

I don't get it. First, its impossible there can be 100C+ temps. The case fan is silent, the psu fan is not moving, the system works fine and feels cool in fact cold to the touch.
Second, how can it possibly be -128.0C on one of the readings?
The system itself seems to be running quite fast and perfectly silently. I have a Noctua low profile CPU cooler which should be more than equal to the cpu installed, the psu is a Corsair SFF, Gold 450, and it all seems fine. You hear the fans for a few seconds at startup, after that, silence.
I am running Debian stable but as in the earlier post when trying to get suspend to work, have the testing kernel installed. Was hoping that would clear up the temp problem but no luck.
By the way, acpi -t returns nothing.
Any suggestions? Or should I just stop worrying?

Lm-sensors is one of those weird mysterious things that sometimes seems to be really silly in the output it provides.
I have lm-sensors installed and this is what it shows:
k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Tctl: +31.5°C
sensor = thermistor CPUTIN: +30.5°C (high = +80.0°C,
I'd probably base the "likely temperature" of your CPU based on these two readings above, plus your fan is slowly turning (thus not rushing to cool down a hot CPU).
I don't get it. First, its impossible there can be 100C+ temps. The case fan is silent, the psu fan is not moving, the system works fine and feels cool in fact cold to the touch.
Here's mine on an AMD CPU:
iwlwifi_1-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +38.0°C
nvme-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter Composite: +43.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +84.8°C) (crit = +84.8°C) Sensor 1: +43.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C) Sensor 2: +46.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)
k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Tctl: +45.6°C Tdie: +35.6°C
Now, for some reason I dont have the ISA sensor output (used to have that in the past on the same machine), isn't it silly that it thinks my NVME storage card can handle 65k degrees C.
Any suggestions? Or should I just stop worrying?
I think as long as the fans spin (and they are reporting slow spin, suggesting they arent hot) and things dont feel hot, it seems fine I guess. Is there some alternative software we can use instead of lm-sensors?
Thanks, Srdjan

lm-sensors reads the raw data from the sensors, there might need to be adjustments which can be provided by a variety of mechanisms but are typically tied to the vendor and the windows drivers. The raw output might reveal sensors which are not actually connected to the controller.
What you can do is look at making some system specific adjustments: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lm_sensors#Tips_and_tricks
You may find configurations for your motherboard online saving you from having to work it out.

That's pretty cool actually. Something that could be pretty neat to have is a git repo somewhere with different board's config files (I had an extremely quick look but couldn't find any).
