Is this result from lm_sensors ok? (a7n8x VM/400 mobo)

Bios only tells about the VCore which is similar to VCore 1 of
lm_sensors. 12V is also simlar. The value of Vcore 2 make me worry.

Also I never suspected FC6 because FC5 also shows same behaviour on
this machine, where-as I never had FC5 bad experience with FC5 on
another machine.

I was running version 1004 (which is beta BIOS) so I switched to
officially stable 1003 for this mobo, but the problem is still there.

Thanks
