Just wanted to send in some feedback on this combination and a thank you for
lm_sensors.
SuSE 9.1 "Personal" edition (kernel 2.6.5-7.104-smp) distribution included
lm_sensors 2.8.3-99. This, of course, didn't work. Some searching of your FAQ
turned up the recommendation that lm_sensors needed to be 2.8.6 or newer with
this kernel version. So, a download, make user, and make user_install later,
I have the correct version installed, and it works fine. Thanks to the FAQ
editor(s) for this.
I'm using a SuperMicro P4SPA+ motherboard, which is detected as having the
Winbond w83627hf chip on it. sensors-detect worked fine picking that up. I
have a slower than stock CPU fan (a Zalman 7000A kit) installed. There is a
case fan, and an "overheat fan" as well, and case and CPU temperature
sensors. These values in /etc/sensors.conf seem to be correct for this
combination:
# Inserted - 23 November 2004 - dgersic
# Configuration for Fans
label fan1 "CPU Fan"
set fan1_div 4
set fan1_min 1000
label fan2 "Case Fan"
set fan2_div 2
set fan2_min 2000
label fan3 "Overheat Fan"
set fan3_div 2
set fan3_min 0
# Configuration for Temp sensors
label temp1 "System Temp"
ignore temp2
label temp3 "CPU Temp"
compute temp3 @+6,(@-6)
# end - dgersic
and the outputs of lm_sensors status now match the values shown by the BIOS
for the FAN speeds and the system and CPU temps. I have not yet verified the
voltage monitors, but they look like they are probably correct.
