Jean sorry your right, there is a diffrent ID, when I 1st got the sheets from my winbond contact they showed the same and I just remember that and not the newer sheets and I did not check the source when I answered your mail no I don't use those 2 registers in mbm a user can select diode or not diode for a sensor, that is why it's 2 diffrent sensors in mbm really (although you can't select them at the same time). I have had mails from users who upgraded CPU's (athlons) and had to swicht from the normal diode on a winbond to the 2N version to get a reading, and their bios did not do that. glad it's not my smbus code cause the timeout :) Regards, Alex - Please always attach all previous mails ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Motherboard Monitor: http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For long you live and high you fly, And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry, And all you touch and all you see, Is all your life will ever be. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Jean Delvare [mailto:khali at linux-fr.org] Sent: zaterdag 9 augustus 2003 14:26 To: MBM Support Cc: sensors at Stimpy.netroedge.com Subject: Re: W83L785TS-S > yes it's supported but if I had known I would not have started it. > It's the sensor the A7N8X COP feature works on, it's not supported by > Asus probe and I understand why by now :) > > acording to all the posts and mails: > > 1) W83L785TS_S shows diode temp Asus 1 shows case , Asus 2 shows > socket 2) W83L785TS_S diode shows diode temp Asus 1 shows case , Asus > 2 shows socket > 3) W83L785TS_S shows diode temp Asus 2 shows case , Asus 1 shows > socket 4) W83L785TS_S diode shows diode temp Asus 2 shows case , Asus > 4 shows socket I'm not sure I understand why you differenciate "W83L785TS_S" and "W83L785TS_S diode". There's a single temperature measured by the W83L785TS_S anyway, or did I miss something? > some board needs a reboot if switching between diode and normal > readout ??!! very version (and if I have to believe a few users) bios > dependend OK, so I defintely missed something. To me, the thermal diode vs. thermistor is something the BIOS should set, matching the way the hardware manufacturer designed and wired the board.

See there for the whole thread: http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23918&sid=8e6f3b6d097334d2c1 05967163817e83 The important thing is that occasionally, reading from the chip would fail for that user (resulting in XX on the dump, instead of the value). Another user seems never to suffer from that (but a couple of shots may not be enough to conclude). > also as for detection it has the same ID as the W83L785TR so you never > know what you have :) right now if I have no other primary sensor > chip I asume it's a W83L785TR, if I already have a primary then it > probably is a W83L785TS. I don't have a datasheet for the W83L785TR. I could find one for the W83L785R, and fortunately it has a different ID (50h instead of 70h). > by now if people have problems with it (and I only know of the A7N8X > using it) I simply reply to search the forum and to remember there is > a reason asus probe does not support it OK, I think I'll write a very simple driver (simply reporting the value of register 27h, no more). I won't even add support to our library and tools, just the driver. BTW you didn't really answer my question. Do you use the registers 53h and 85h in any way?
