generally motherboard sensor temperatures are vague, at best.

Should this be your cpu core temps, you can set temp multipliers in the 
sensors configuration, I think, this is /etc/sensors.conf, see the 
relevant man pages.

Alternatively, this can also be done in ksensors (shold you use kde)

My guess is that you will most likely need a multiplier of "4". ;-)))
