Hi Jean,
thanks for the reply.
Its an ASUS MB a NCL-DS with dual Xeons, and yes it does have hardware
monitoring in the bios (and some kind of smart fan control). Its has
six fan headers on the MB.
The only chips I can see (the heatsinks on the Xeons cover up some
areas) that are likely candidate's is the W83627THF, and a W83792D
(there are also two W83601R's).
Here's the version
sensors version 2.9.0 with libsensors version 2.9.0
Thanks
Mark.
Here's the sensors-detect output
-----------------------------------
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel 82801EB ICH5
Probe succesfully concluded.
We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Load `i2c-i801' (say NO if built into your kernel)? (YES/no):
Module loaded succesfully.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.
To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no):
Module loaded succesfully.
We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang
halfway
through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double
detected;
we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you
can
specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
includes address 0x69 (clock chip).
Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x08
Client found at address 0x44

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.
Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no):
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78'
Trying address 0x0290... Failed!

Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC'

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):

Failed! (skipping family)
