Not really, but here are some hints anyway. Either the second fan is supposed to be monitored by the it87 and isn't, or you have another fan monitoring chip on-board. Which speed is the BIOS reporting for the "missing" fan? If it's really slow, you need a really big clock divider 8). Seems that you have already been trying that though? If there is a second monitoring chipset, a recent version of sensors-detect should identify it, or at least find it but fail to identify it.

Hardly believable. Maybe you need to change the sensor type? >lm90-i2c-4-4c >M/B Temp: +59?C (low = +0?C, high = +70?C) ALARM >CPU Temp: +67.6?C (low = +0.0?C, high = +70.0?C) ALARM Damn hot too, however. Where are you living? ;) Strange that the ALARMS show. Do they wear of on second read? Jean
