I have been playing a bit with lm-sensors lately. One machine I've set
it up on has a Gigabyte GA-7DXC (iirc) motherboard. (VIA686)
I checked the config file, saw this:
"""
# Johannes Drechsel-Burkhard <jdb at chello.at> notes that on his MSI K7T Pro,
# temp1 is the CPU temp and temp2 is the SYS temp.
label temp1 "SYS Temp"
label temp2 "CPU Temp"
label temp3 "SBr Temp"
<SNIP>
set temp1_hyst 40
set temp1_over 45
set temp2_hyst 55
set temp2_over 60
set temp3_hyst 60
set temp3_over 65
"""
On the 7DXC, I currently have a 59 degC temp1, 36 degC temp2, and 24
degC temp3. Thus I think on the 7DXC the same applies: temp1 is CPU and
temp2 is sys (it runs too hot, this machine, the BIOS agrees).
So I should push up my temp1_hyst/over to something higher, 65/70 maybe
(temp goes up when machine is very busy, I think a box fan is
necessary), make temp2 be 40/45, and temp3 ... It does seem to go up and
down with the rest, but seems too low to me (what should it be?), so I
guess this also applies:
"""
# on the Tyan S1598 as well as the Abit KA7 (Athalon), the absolute values
# of the readings from that sensor are not valid. The readings do seem to
"""
Oh yea, I have lm-sensors 2.6.3-1, Debian package.
Thanks,
