I have accepted all the 'risky' things lm-sensors wanted to do with my system since this answer told me so. My computer is now getting a lot hotter than before, even outside of Ubuntu, and I think it is due to that.

How to undo whatever changes lm-sensors has made to my system?

Uninstall lm-sensors and its dependencies

   sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove lm-sensors

Purging your config/data too

   sudo apt-get purge lm-sensors

  • The problems are also outside of Ubuntu so I don't think this undoes everything. – jobukkit Jun 30 '14 at 17:03

    I do not know if lm-sensor can change something at the NVRAM (Bios) level. In that case only a full BIOS reset can return the system to its previous state. How to do that depend on the specific computer/bios. – Rmano Jun 30 '14 at 18:28
