Sample output of sensors-detect
taken from here:
Driver `coretemp':
* Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
Driver `lm90':
* Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 4d00'
Busdriver `i2c_nforce2', I2C address 0x4c
Chip `Winbond W83L771AWG/ASG' (confidence: 6)
What does this confidence value mean? If the confidence value is 6, does this mean the confidence interval is +/- 6°C?
Just curious as to how accurate the readings from sensors
are. For me at least, these values tend to jump around a lot, and I was wondering if that reflects the actual fluctuating temperature of my CPU, or if it's just random noise.
