dmsg shows :
lm0 at isa0 port 0x290-0x297: W83627HF

kernel config file includes :
# LM7[89] and compatible hardware monitors
lm0     at isa? port 0x290              # other common ports: 0x280, 0x310

>Description:
	
The lm environmental sensor driver is reporting cpu temperatures
that are much higher than those that the bios reports. The fan
speeds are correct and the mb temperature is correct. The bios
reports temperatures of 28C 40C 46C at idle, however envstat using
the lm driver is reporting temperatures of 28C 64C 69C at essentially
idle.

>How-To-Repeat:
Check the bios' "health status" screen and compare with 'envstat'.

Note that we also compared with a winbind-based utility under
Solaris86, which agreed with the bios' values.

 The lm environmental sensor driver appears to be reporting incorrect cpu temperatures
