Readout the correct temperatures

Hi,

yesterday i looked for the temperatures of the cpu and gpu for the first time. the values are unrealistic. cpu temperature was 22 degrees and gpu 20 degrees. the same when i use 'cputemp' and 'gputemp' with ssh. the htpc was running for 2 or 3 hours and played some hd files. is this normal or soem problems with the sensors?

my hardware:

mainboard = asrock am1h

cpu: sempron 3850

i running libreelec 8.02 (generic).

The usual problem is a new variant of an existing sensor that is not explicitly supported by the Linux kernel. This results in the new sensor using the incorrect maths for an older sensor and our cputemp/gputemp scripts correctly read the incorrect values reported by the kernel. As it is a cosmetic problem we generally do nothing and eventually the kernel gets updated and the issue resolves itself.
