Whoops! I missed that. No, the -12 is not showing correctly. It is showing
-12V:      +6.06 V  (min = -10.80 V, max = -13.18 V)       ALARM

THAT is weird. The machine seems to be running OK other than the fan
issue though....
I don't remember looking at that line before so I can't remember how
long it has been like that.

Yeah. I removed and reinstalled lm-sensors. No luck.

Yes. Several times in fact.
