Temperature 'sensor' output readings

This needed to be its own article, because 'sensors' detected on Linux OS applies to pretty much all other NON-IPMI hardware monitoring tools available out there. For example, if one hardware sensor method/program is not showing chassis fan RPM's (controled in BIOS), then the other open-source program will most likely not see that chassis fan RPM reading since they all use the same sensors available from the hardware.

exx@rdlab:~$ sensors
iwlwifi_1-virtual-0 <Wi-Fi adapter>
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +32.0°C

enp69s0-pci-4500 <Seems exclusive to TRX40>
Adapter: PCI adapter
PHY Temperature: +63.3°C

k10temp-pci-00c3 <Tdie, which is true CPU temperature; Tctl is the mirrored offset that triggers fan RPM's to increase/decrease>
Adapter: PCI adapter
Tdie: +40.1°C (high = +70.0°C) <If you have an AMD Threadripper CPU, then you can expect to see normal operating temperatures from 80-91c>
Tctl: +40.1°C
