This also is very old and about potentially flawed HW.
The driver is for K8 from 2009

Look at the code: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hwmon/k8temp.c#L157
And why it was added: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/bb9a35f293a3c8b5d57253cdfe2f29fa2627e1b9
And if you are curious details for #141 in: https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/33610.PDF

This is a valid warning about flawed HW and IMHO not a bug.

Thank you for your report.

This looks like a valid warning to me, rather than a bug in Ubuntu.
Also the bug lacks some details to go any further on it.

You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in Ubuntu, rather than configuration problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us to focus on fixing bugs in Ubuntu.

If you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
