My experience is that sensors[-detect] works best for an Intel x86* CPU with 100% PCI/PCI-e cards, and for some older AMD x86* PCI/PCI-e systems. Anything else is risky: ISA cards, non-x86* CPU, newer AMD x86*, etc. For instance, look at the garbage shown by 'sensors' for two recent systems that I assembled: ===== Model name: AMD A10-5800K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (ASUS F2 A85M PRO board) asus-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter cpu_fan: 0 RPM radeon-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +31.0°C (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C) k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +0.0°C (high = +70.0°C) (crit = +70.0°C, hyst = +69.0°C) ===== Model name: AMD A10-7890K Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G (MSI A88XM-E45v2 board) k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +0.0°C (high = +70.0°C) (crit = +70.0°C, hyst = +69.0°C) radeon-pci-0008 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: -8.0°C (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C) fam15h_power-pci-00c4 Adapter: PCI adapter power1: N/A (crit = 94.74 W) ===== _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
