Coretemp Atom 330, strange temperatures

Coretemp Atom 330, strange temperatures

[Peter Feuerer]

Hi Rudolf, Hi Huaxu,

I've got an Asrock Ion 330 machine with Atom 330 processor, running 
2.6.32.3 kernel. When loading coretemp it shows strange temperatures, like 
this:
Core0: 0.0 degree C
Core1: 16.0 degree C
Core2: 0.0 degree C
Core3: 15.0 degree C

Is there an offset missing? When touching the cooler it feels like 40 degree ore something.
Is this a known problem? Is there already a fix?

thanks for your time and kind regards,
--peter

AFAIK, the thermal sensor has a range limitation, it may report an incorrect
value when the temperatures are ~20C below Tcontrol(40~50). Could you give
some load to it and check the temperatures again?
