You know, perhaps it should be made a new recommendation/rule that drivers *not* initialize limits on chips by default. I had a problem with the LM85 shutting down Margit's motherboard. Other drivers have an init=0 option. With the different VRM specs that are now out there it's even harder to set accurate defaults. And if the BIOS *has* setup the chip, then when the driver "initializes" it, the user looses what are presumably good limits for the given motherboard. Lastly, it would make the chip drivers smaller by a significant amount which seems to be a current focus of development [grin]... :v) > "set vrm 9.0" worked. thanks. > now I have a better vid value : > > VCore 1: +1.58 V (min = +1.44 V, max = +1.60 V) > [...] > vid: +1.525 V > > I just can now ear a very short alarm signal trigered by the motherboard, > after the module is loaded, and before "sensors -s" is launched.
