How to config sensors.conf ? [SOLVED]

when I start /etc/init.d/lm_sensors I get this:

it8712-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1: +1.47 V (min = +1.42 V, max = +1.57 V)
VCore 2: +2.58 V (min = +2.40 V, max = +2.61 V)
+3.3V: +3.26 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.47 V)
+5V: +4.25 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.24 V) ALARM
+12V: +12.22 V (min = +11.39 V, max = +12.61 V)
-12V: -7.97 V (min = -12.63 V, max = -11.41 V) ALARM
-5V: -4.08 V (min = -5.26 V, max = -4.77 V) ALARM
Stdby: +2.80 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.24 V) ALARM
VBat: +2.67 V
fan1: 3515 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div =

fan2: 0 RPM (min = 3013 RPM, div =

fan3: 0 RPM (min = 3013 RPM, div =

M/B Temp: +25 C (low = +15 C, high = +40 C) sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp: +24 C (low = +15 C, high = +45 C) sensor = thermistor
Temp3: +32 C (low = +15 C, high = +45 C) sensor = diode

So, I must set other borders for some Volts. For example the down border of "+5V:" must be under +4.25V. But I don't know how can I set it throuht /etc/sensors.conf. What exacly do I need to edit?

Elvis-Gauss,

Its not as simple as you hoped. Your line

ok, I've ignore in3, in5, in6 and in7 and now I have not a sigle alarm running. That's fine.
But I have another problem - when I start /etc/init.d/lm_sensors the computer begins buzzing and that strange noise is unbearable. It's very irritating and worse - when I stop /etc/init.d/lm_sensors the noise doesn't stop!!! I thought that's the alarm but now I have no alarm at all... Is it possible sensors-detect to be wrong detecting my chips? Actually I don't know what's the reason for the noise, any suggestions?
The sound is not coming from the speakers but from motherboard

I've solved my problem. Just set everything I need to be built-in in my kernel and now sensors work without any need to start /etc/init.d/lm_sensors.

I'll take the chance and post a related question:

How am I able to disable all "ALARM"s for sensors (not necessarily sensorsd, though I would not care). I just don't want to have them displayed when running sensors any more, but I could not figure out how to do it as of yet.

What I've just added:
ignore in3
ignore in5
ignore in6
ignore in7
in the section for the chip it87
That tells sensors to ignore(not to display) them...

Actually, You can use ksensors to display the information. It's very cool application with many different extras and features
