The three wires have to be plugged onto the motherboard. You don't have one specific wire for the motherboard and the two other wires going somewhere else. The fan must be *designed* to be plugged onto the motherboard. > > Your motherboard, but maybe it is simply not wired. The other are > > obviously for each CPU.

Example: "while [ 1 ] ; do echo some stupid string ; done". This should load one CPU only if "echo" and "[" are shell built-ins, and they are for bash. Now, what I don't know is how to know on which CPU the process is. Maybe ps and/or top can say this on SMP systems, but I never had one. > > BTW, I am thinking of one thing.

At least you get VCore1 OK. I don't know about VCore2. It is indeed normal that it is different from VCore1, so I wonder why we use the same formulae in the config file. One thing that would be interesting is to write down these values, quickly go to your BIOS, watch and write down all values it gives, and compare. It would help us figure out which values make sense and which ones don't. > ywesee at debian:~> sudo lsmod > Module Size Used by Not tainted > w83781d 19328 0 (unused) > i2c-piix4 4196 0 (unused) > dmi_scan 1636 0 [i2c-piix4] > eeprom 3552 0 > i2c-proc 6464 0 [w83781d eeprom] > i2c-dev 3808 0 > i2c-algo-pcf 4864 0 > i2c-algo-bit 7084 0 (unused) > i2c-core 12992 0 [w83781d i2c-piix4 eeprom i2c-proc > i2c-dev i2c-algo-pcf i2c-algo-bit] Looks strange.

I'll try to have a look, but it will take some time since I'm really busy today. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
