How do I tell when the values are correct? Compare to the BIOS and hope
it doesn't change in the interim?

Also, on mine there are lines for "CPU Temp (Intel)" and "CPU Temp (AMD)".
I have an AMD Athlon. How do I remove the Intel one? Also, the Athlon
one reads 29C (and mobo temp is 30C), which is amazing considering the
dinky heat sink I have. Should I believe it?
