No, but the driver doesn't know, so you'll have to create an ignore entry in
sensors3.conf.

Because of a bug in the driver. Should get fixed with 3.10.1 or 3.10.2.

Supermicro does not provide configuration files. You can take the above file,
test and update it, and let us know so we can add it to the wiki.

This is surprising and might be where the alarm comes from. What output do you
get if you load the coretemp driver ?

Are those not connected ?

Supermicro tends to set the limits in the BIOS, so you should not have to do
that.
