The temp[[:digit:]]
things are confusing. Can the output of sensors
be more human readable?
$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +59.0°C (crit = +127.0°C)
temp2: +60.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
thinkpad-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1: 2990 RPM
temp1: +59.0°C
temp2: +53.0°C
temp3: +41.0°C
temp4: +76.0°C
temp5: +36.0°C
temp6: N/A
temp7: +33.0°C
temp8: N/A
temp9: +43.0°C
temp10: +51.0°C
temp11: +49.0°C
temp12: N/A
temp13: N/A
temp14: N/A
temp15: N/A
temp16: N/A
Now it is like the following. Do they indicate my laptop is healthy? Do I have to worry about that? The reported temperatures are when I am opening 100 tabs in chrome browser now. They are achieved when I use a cooler and scale the cpu frequency to the lowest 0.8GHz. WIhtout a cooler, the highest temperature will be over 80 celcius. If further without cpu freq scaling, the highest can be 90 and 100 celcius.

It seems you could do this by editing the
/etc/sensors3.conf
file as discussed here.You could add the details as below.
You could probably get information about your model from here.
