Dear sirs,
I managed to make lm-sensors work with my ASUS A7V600, and I thought you
would like to know the settings in sensors.conf in case anyone else
needs them. I could not find any other suitable place to send this
information. Hope it helps. If not, tell me where I can post this info.
Here goes:
I use Linux 2.6.3 compiled from source. I2C was compiled as modules.
I used lm-sensors 2.8.4, also compiled from source. As instructed, I
installed the user-space programms only (make user). I took the
sensors.conf from the same version (2.8.4).
The modules needed to load for the ASUS A7V600 are: i2c-isa and it87
Here goes the piece of sensors.conf that makes it work correctly:
##### sensors.conf ######
chip "it87-*" "it8705-*" "it8712-*"
# The values below have been tested on Asus A7V600.
# Voltages
label in0 "VCore 1"
# Put CPU VCore here, 1.65 in my setup
set in0_min 1.65 * 0.95
set in0_max 1.65 * 1.05
# VCore2 not available in the A7V600 (reads 0.0)
ignore in1
label in2 "+3.3V"
set in2_min 3.3 * 0.95
set in2_max 3.3 * 1.05
label in3 "+5V"
set in3_min 5.0 * 0.95
set in3_max 5.0 * 1.05
compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ , @/((6.8/10)+1)
label in4 "+12V"
set in4_min 12 * 0.95
set in4_max 12 * 1.05
compute in4 ((30/10) +1)*@ , @/((30/10) +1)
# -12V and -5V not available in the A7V600
ignore in5
ignore in6
label in7 "Stdby"
set in7_min 5 * 0.95
set in7_max 5 * 1.05
compute in7 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ , @/((6.8/10)+1)
label in8 "VBat"
#the chip does not support in8 min/max
# vid is not monitored by IT8705F
# and is not supported by driver at this time
# ignore vid
# Fans
label fan1 "CPU Fan"
set fan1_min 1500
label fan2 "CHA Fan" # Chassis fan
ignore fan2 # Not connected, but usable (untested though)
label fan3 "PWR Fan" # Power fan
set fan3 1500
# Temperatures
# The A7V600 seems to operate with thermistors, NOT diodes.
label temp1 "CPU Temp"
set sensor1 2
set temp1_over 55
set temp1_low 15
# Warning: The config example for sensors 2.8.4 suggested the
following for the A7V600:
# compute temp1 (@+128)/3, (3*@-128)
# However, it did not work correctly. It was stuck at 58"C.
# Instead the setting for A7V8X-X worked OK (same reading as the BIOS)
compute temp1 (-15.096+1.4893*@), (@+15.096)/1.4893
label temp2 "M/B Temp"
set sensor2 2
set temp2_over 45
set temp2_low 15
ignore temp3 # Not available on the A7V600
##### sensors.conf end ######
With these settings, sensors outputs the following:
it87-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1: +1.64 V (min = +1.56 V, max = +1.72 V)
+3.3V: +3.24 V (min = +3.13 V, max = +3.45 V)
+5V: +4.86 V (min = +4.72 V, max = +5.24 V)
+12V: +12.16 V (min = +11.36 V, max = +12.60 V)
Stdby: +4.99 V (min = +4.72 V, max = +5.24 V)
VBat: +4.08 V
CPU Fan: 3245 RPM (min = 2657 RPM, div = 2)
PWR Fan: 3391 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)
CPU Temp: +50?C (low = +15?C, high = +55?C) sensor =
thermistor
M/B Temp: +34?C (low = +15?C, high = +45?C) sensor = thermistor
Hope this information helps. Again, if you could show me some place more
appropriate for this, let me know. Also, I am available for further
testing and inquiries (BIOS version, board revision etc.)
