ASUS A7V333 : strange output format

Description

Hello, I have a Asus A7V333 (chipset Via) with AMD Athlon CPU, and when i use sensors, the output is a little bit strange : it indicates 2 CPUs (one from intel, and one from AMD), and sometimes, the title and the values are not on the same line : so it's un-usable by common applications which doesn't understand this format.

The ASB100 has several temperature channels, one is more frequently used for CPU temperature on motherboards with Intel CPUs, another is more frequently used fr CPU temperature on motherboards with AMD CPUs. This is the reason for the default labels. But you shouldn't pay too much attention, as every motherboard is different anyway. Just check which temperature values make sense on your board, and uses these. You can compare with what the BIOS displays for hints.

The line breaks append when the label is longer that 10 characters. I admit that this is not very aesthetic. Future versions of "sensors" won't do that, but in the meantime, if this worries you, just change the long labels (in /etc/sensors.conf, chip section "asb100-*") to something shorter. That being said, applications should not parse the output of "sensors" anyway, it was never meant for that purpose.

I found a dedicated configuration file for your motherboard model, you should start from there:
