Paul:
It's been a while, but I went through the drill six or seven years ago. The
most useful information I found was at www.lm-sensors.org. I strongly
recommend that you spend some time there.
And, no, a reading of -2.0°C for your CPU is not reasonable. Unless you live
in a polar region and keep your computer outdoors. Or have a truly amazing
CPU cooler.
