System Temperature sensing
My system has been shutting itself down recently. Today it did so
while my wife was using the computer and she reports that the box was
"quite warm" above the power supply. She left the system powered down
so I could check things out myself. When I got home I cleared a small
amount of dust from one of the vents (side). The other vent (rear) was
completely clear. When I powered up I verified that the power supply
fan and the heatsink fan were both running. I ran sensors and got the
following results:

My motherboard is a Gigabyte 970A0-DS3.
Can anyone tell me what the various temperatures are? The three
temperatures listed under:
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +34.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C)
sensor = thermistor
temp2: +38.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C)
sensor = thermal diode
temp3: +21.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C)
sensor = thermal diode
seem to be perfectly in range for a system recently turned on, but I
don't know what is what.
The output for:
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +9.4°C (high = +70.0°C)
(crit = +90.0°C, hyst = +87.0°C)
however, seems troubling. The house thermostat says 75F, which would be
approximately 23.9C. I don't think that it is cooler inside my running
computer than it is in the house surrounding it. Can this be ignored, or
is this indicating a malfunctioning sensor? If it is malfunctioning, can
anyone tell me what sensor it is, and on what board, so I know what to
replace?
Any help appreciated.
