Hmmm - I never noticed the values before while running 6.99.2.  But ...

I have four machines with Phenom-II X6, and three of them are indeed 
reporting 0 degC even on 6.99.2

        Motherboard           SB      CPU
        M4A88TD-M           SB850   1055T   reports 0
        M4A88TD-M           SB850   1090T   reports 0
        M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3  SB850   1090T   reports 0
        M4A88T-M            SB710   1090T   reports valid data

All four systems have the same 880G northbridge.

I'll have to check tomorrow to see if the SB710 reports valid data with 
the new code.
