Hi sensors-folks,
I have MSI's K8N Neo Platinum board with a W83627THF chip.
I couldn't find the following piece of advice in the FAQ, so I had to
find out the hard way---trial and error:
Q: My Smart CPU Fan goes to full speed when I use lm_sensors!
A: The Smart CPU Fan option in the BIOS slows down the fan when
the CPU is below a given temperature. If your CPU temperature
*is* below this level and the fan doesn't slow down, this might
be caused by sensor chip initialisation. For the W83627THF
chip you can try replacing the line
MODULE_1=w83627hf
in /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors by this line:
MODULE_1="w83627hf init=0"
------------------
Also, I have a fan that runs at RPMs below 600, so I have set
the fan divisor to 32, which seems to work fine for this chip.
Best Regards,
-- Arne
