Does the fan keep a high speed for always, or does is goes down after some times? Does the "sensors" program report any alarm? (a "cat" on the alarms file could help too) Can you confirm the fan speedup is caused by loading the driver, and not by running "sensors -s"? (Many scripts will do both in a row.) Does using the temp_type parameter with various values (read doc/chips/it87) have any influence (except giving very bad temperatures) on the fan speed? -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
