 Temp5/Temp6 seem to measure temperature inside the chassis, but not really
 close to power regulators or the CPU.
 
 An invalid value such as -30C usually means a read-out of zero, i.e.
 there is no sensor signal because the machine isn't equipped with that
 sensor.
 
 So, to me this all works as designed, but you are willing to accept
 more than what the, pretty conservative, BIOS thresholds allow.
 This is fine and you can adjust the behaviour of NetBSD by configuring
 your own thresholds in /etc/envsys.conf.
