I don't have access to my Athlon machine right now (it's running memory
tests rather than NetBSD) but there are two things you might want to
look at. First some of the older BIOSes caused Windows to report wrong
(too high) temperatures, so this might affect this program as well. Use
at least version 1007 of the BIOS on a A7V333.

Second, I can't see whether the second number above is the motherboard
monitor for the temperature of the CPU or the CPU monitor. (There are
two sensors for CPU temperature, one external and one internal.) You may
be looking at the wrong one.
