I recently contacted MSI about another motherboard, asking them if it had a secondary monitoring chip. I knew it had. They told it had not. I told them I knew it had. They told I were wrong... Don't trust docs. Don't trust support. These are hints at best, but only solely the truth. > But if I go into my BIOS I can see the system fan-speed too.

If you don't use the FAN2 input, yes, why not. > Thanks for your effort. You're welcome. > Client found at address 0x18 > Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1021'...

Please provide the output of "i2cdump 0 0x18" (make sure i2c-viapro is loaded). (I got the strange feeling that I *already* asked you for that output... Please forgive me if this is the case). -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
