The old sensors-detect routine will trigger the chip at 0x2e to appliy an >3V vdimm. That should harm the dimm's and the chip's nb. I wonder why it also results in faulty bioses.
Did you get both RMAed? If so did they say what was defect.

That was tony's tip from a few weeks ago, whom I crossposted here.

Whooee, 3.2v, I can see why things came to a halt. The dimms are ok but I could never get the cpu to work after that. I tried it in two other boards, including a new DFI M2RS. I didn't try a second cpu in the original M2R board, so it might have been ok.

Yes, I RMAed both cpu and board. Newegg didn't get back with me about what the defect might be.

So, sensors-configure is not necessary? I would really like to get lm-sensors working in Linux.
