In the dell_smm-isa-0000 section, it shows an unusually high reading for temp8, (see image). Is there a way of identifying that specific device?
The output of
sensors -f
Not sure how easy it would be to find the actual data sheet for that particular component. However, in looking around I stumbled across this.

That could explain the spurious output…At the same time, in the limitations section, (bottom of the page,) of kernal.org, (here), it states high temps like my temp8, signifies a bios error, or a deactivated sensor. I am just curious to know if there is really a device connected to that reading.
On that same page it shows a command code that will return sensor type, 0x11a3 that could narrow it down a bit, but I m not sure where, when or how to enter that type of command. Maybe @pebcak can help?
Search inside folder:
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX
where X such that
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/name
has content dell_smm.

I took a look at the page you have linked to. Admittedly, these stuff are beyond my scope at the moment. So I have to watch this one from the sideline

I mentioned you because I ran across a thread that had to do with dell-smm-hwmon that you were a part of. Here.
