You should now see in1, fan3, and temp3 which we didn't see before. For my P4C800E, I know these things for sure: chip "w83627thf-*" label fan1 "Chassis Fan" label fan2 "CPU Fan" label fan3 "Power Fan" I'm also assuming these: label temp1 "MB Temp" label temp2 "CPU Temp" label temp3 "PWR Temp" # PWR Temp is the 2 pin connector on the mainboard # unless you've actually connected a sensor... ignore temp3 I can't say anything about inX yet. > One thing I've noticed is that on my physically accessible servers, the > temp readings seldom agree with the bios readings.....is there a > calivration process I need to go through ? Yes, if possible. There is no way for us to automate this. Check /etc/sensors.conf for examples. OTOH, if you're patient you can just wait for me to do it. ;) I have the feeling that more source code changes are necessary yet anyway. BTW my temp1/MB actually looks pretty good; it's the temp2/CPU that's low by ~6C compared to BIOS. It's also possible that neither is lying - if the BIOS sits in a tight loop it could cause the CPU to heat up as compared to a mostly idle/halted CPU running Linux. Regards, -- Mark M.
