I guess some other software is accessing your video card's hardware monitoring sensors. You might run SpeedFan with the following command line switch:

/NONVIDIAI2C

Does it fix your issue?
You might try without MBM5 too.

I hadn't thought of that, now that you mention it, the error does indicate $4C, which is where the MAX6648 is located. While I can't think of any software that I would have running that would access these sensors, the problem DID occur with upgrading to 4.15 from 4.09, which didn't see my video card at all. I've ran without MBM5 loaded, and the same problem occurs, so my bet is that it does have something to do with video sensors. It was nice to see those temps listed, and use the core temp to help speed up the radiator fans if needed. Oh, well ;-)

Unfortunately, nVidia seems not to care that much about their users. nVidia never answered any email of mine. The code I wrote to access nVidia video cards was the result of one year of tests and of some money spent in nVidia hardware. There must be some kind of software/driver that interferes with SpeedFan. Before coding some workaround (if any), I'm trying to figure out how many users are experiencing this issue.
It looks like they are not that many.
We'll see.
In the meantime, I will close this issue assuming /NONVIDIAI2C fixed it.
