Hello, Sorry for late answer. > First of all I'd like to congratulate you your lm_sensors project, and > thank for your job.

Acording to MBM database GA8 I875 Ultra ITE8712F ITE8712F 1 ITE8712F 3 diode temp3 should be CPU temp (you need to set sensor type to diode) temp1 is case/environment (thermistor) temp2 is perhaps unconnected In correct it87-* section of cfg add/edit: # set up sensor types (thermistor is default) # 1 = PII/Celeron Diode; 2 = 3904 transistor; # 3435 = thermistor with Beta = 3435 # If temperature changes very little, try 1 or 2. # set sensor1 1 # set sensor2 2 # set sensor3 3435 Dont forget to run sensors -s to "apply changes" check with "sensors" command to see how it goes.

As far as I have tested "temp3" seems like CPU temperature (the > value rises when I unplug the CPU fan), but this parameter value still > doesn't agree with that which one can see in BIOS health monitor (BIOS > shows ~51C and lm_sensors ~43C). Maybe I need some compute formula? How > to discover/calculate such formula? Snip from FAQ: Bios might be doing some correction itself. However, the offset you are introducing might not be necessary. If you tried to have Linux idle temperature and BIOS "idle" temperature match, you may be misguided. We have a Supermicro (370DLE) motherboard and we know that its BIOS has a closed, almost undelayed while(1) loop that keeps the CPU busy all the time. Linux reads 26 degrees idle, BIOS reads 38 degrees. Linux at full load is in the 35-40 degrees range so this makes sense. > Please help me guys! Sure :) There are two ways: 1) get the information from manufacturer (good luck) 2) bios diassembly (I can do it if you really really need it but I have very limited free time this days. It takes 4 hours approx) here is how to do it yourself: http://www.assembler.cz/biohack.html Regards Rudolf
