lm_sensors reports oddly


This might be too wacky a question even for the gurus here, but there's a chance that someone else has had these results too:
I installed i2c and lm_sensors, no problem. My motherboard's got a Via 333 chipset, which means the w83697hf-isa-0290 ISA adaptor (I think that's what it is?).
However, when I run sensors -f, I get this:

Code:
bash-2.05b$ sensors -f 
eeprom-i2c-0-50
Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000
Memory type:            DDR SDRAM DIMM
Memory size (MB):       256

eeprom-i2c-0-51
Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000
Memory type:            DDR SDRAM DIMM
Memory size (MB):       256

w83697hf-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore:     +1.76 V  (min =  +1.71 V, max =  +1.89 V)              
+3.3V:     +3.52 V  (min =  +3.14 V, max =  +3.46 V)      *** 
+5V:       +4.84 V  (min =  +4.74 V, max =  +5.24 V)         
+12V:     +12.27 V  (min = +10.83 V, max = +13.19 V)    
-12V:      -7.20 V  (min = -13.16 V, max = -10.90 V)      ***      
-5V:       +0.42 V  (min =  -5.26 V, max =  -4.76 V)      *** 
V5SB:      +5.48 V  (min =  +4.74 V, max =  +5.24 V)      ***
VBat:      +3.02 V  (min =  +2.40 V, max =  +3.60 V)
fan1:     5400 RPM  (min = 84375 RPM, div = 2)
(this would be concerning, were fan1 not, in fact, my cpu fan)
fan2:        0 RPM  (min = 3139 RPM, div = 2)   
 (not seriously worried about this, my case fans never detect correctly)       
temp1:      +102 F  (high =   +57 F, hyst =  +237 F)   sensor = thermistor   ALARM    ***
temp2:    +131.9 F  (high =  +158 F, hyst =  +149 F)   sensor = thermistor 
alarms:   
beep_enable:
          Sound alarm disabled
The ***s are the entries which apparently should have my system in convulsions, yet strangely it's fine.
Are these errors in the sensing, or in the default values for what 'min' and 'max' should be?
I'm not seriously concerned, seeing as my computer's been fine for the last few years, but it's just odd enough to make me worried...

Thanks,
Laura

Update: I checked the temps/speeds/etc in the bios, and those measurements are correct. So I guess the question is, is my power supply fsked and isn't outputting the correct voltages (in which case I'll just replace the darn thing, it's had problems before), is it the proc, or something else altogether?

Thanks for any help,
Laura
