I have an ABIT AG8 motherboard which uses a Winbond W83627HF-AW chip for I/O (other MB specs at: http://www.mbreview.com/ag8.php). I am running Fedora Core to patched to kernel 2.6.10-1.771_FC2smp with lm_sensors 2.9.1 installed I ran sensors-detect and received the output attached. So far so good, it detected my w83627hf (as well as my tv-tuner card and a bunch of other stuff). modprobed (see attached for full lsmod output) Module Size Used by w83627hf 28129 0 eeprom 11481 0 i2c_sensor 7361 2 w83627hf,eeprom i2c_isa 6081 0 i2c_dev 13377 0 i2c_i801 11981 0 .. then ran sensors -s, then sensors: [12:37am] root at atlas:/etc> sensors w83627hf-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter VCore 1: +4.08 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) VCore 2: +4.08 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) +3.3V: +4.08 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.47 V) +5V: +5.24 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.24 V) +12V: +11.98 V (min = +10.82 V, max = +13.19 V) -12V: +1.54 V (min = -13.18 V, max = -10.80 V) V5SB: +5.46 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.24 V) VBat: +1.60 V (min = +2.40 V, max = +3.60 V) fan1: 0 RPM (min = 3391 RPM, div = 2) fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 5314 RPM, div = 2) temp1: -48C (high = -116C, hyst = -65C) sensor = thermistor temp2: -48.0C (high = +80C, hyst = +75C) sensor = thermistor temp3: -48.0C (high = +80C, hyst = +75C) sensor = thermistor vid: +0.000 V (VRM Version 10.0) alarms: beep_enable: Sound alarm disabled .. and I got -48C for all of my temps. I know temperature monitoring is hooked up becaues I can enter the BIOS utility (abit calls it uguru) to give me realtime temp stats. my processor tends to run around 50-80C depending on load. I'd like to be able to see that realtime in linux but I've gone through the docs, FAQs, google, etc and haven't found a solution. I tried to change my "sensor" in the /etc/sensors.conf file to 1 or 2, but they both gave me +127C as the temp. The voltages also seem off, but I don't much care about those at this point. I also tried using the w83781d module instead of the w83627hf but got the same results (even installed clean after a reboot). I'm stumped, wondering if this'll work at all. any help would be great. here's more of the info you wanted. since I'm not that familiar with i2c I included both the i2cdetect output and the isa dump [12:44am] root at atlas:/etc> isadump 0x295 0x296 WARNING!

You need to have i2c and lm_sensors installed before running this program. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-* files, for most things. If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-i801' for device 00:1f.3: Intel 82801FB ICH6 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 0500 Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x08 Client found at address 0x44 Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... Failed! Client found at address 0x50 Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success! (confidence 8, driver `eeprom') Probing for `DDC monitor'... Failed! Probing for `Maxim MAX6900'... Failed! Client found at address 0x52 Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success! (confidence 8, driver `eeprom') Next adapter: bt878 #0 [sw] Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Can't open /dev/i2c-2 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!

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.

Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 0500' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) * Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 0500' Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x52 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) Driver `w83781d' (may not be inserted): Misdetects: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `Winbond W83627HF' (confidence: 8) Driver `w83627hf' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules. Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus. ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules.conf: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-i801 modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom modprobe w83627hf # sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until it's done. Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. -------------- next part -------------- Module Size Used by w83627hf 28129 0 eeprom 11481 0 i2c_sensor 7361 2 w83627hf,eeprom i2c_isa 6081 0 i2c_dev 13377 0 i2c_i801 11981 0 snd_intel8x0 33889 0 snd_ac97_codec 68513 1 snd_intel8x0 nvidia 3908124 12 snd_pcm_oss 51317 0 snd_mixer_oss 21185 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_bt87x 16645 1 snd_pcm 89925 4 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_bt87x snd_timer 27333 1 snd_pcm snd 55461 7 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_bt87x,snd_pcm,snd_timer snd_page_alloc 13509 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_bt87x,snd_pcm soundcore 12961 2 snd tuner 23661 0 tvaudio 24033 0 msp3400 27113 0 bttv 146769 2 video_buf 24261 1 bttv i2c_algo_bit 12361 1 bttv v4l2_common 9793 1 bttv btcx_risc 8521 1 bttv videodev 13249 1 bttv lirc_i2c 10116 1 lirc_dev 15172 1 lirc_i2c ipt_MASQUERADE 7617 1 ipt_state 5953 2 iptable_filter 7617 1 ip_nat_ftp 8881 0 iptable_nat 27877 3 ipt_MASQUERADE,ip_nat_ftp ip_tables 21185 4 ipt_MASQUERADE,ipt_state,iptable_filter,iptable_nat ip_conntrack_ftp 76145 1 ip_nat_ftp ip_conntrack 45573 5 ipt_MASQUERADE,ipt_state,ip_nat_ftp,iptable_nat,ip_conntrack_ftp i2c_core 24769 12 w83627hf,eeprom,i2c_sensor,i2c_isa,i2c_dev,i2c_i801,tuner,tvaudio,msp3400,bttv,i2c_algo_bit,lirc_i2c sunrpc 135973 1 e100 35905 0 mii 8641 1 e100 r8169 22473 0 floppy 56913 0 sg 38881 0 microcode 11489 0 raw1394 31661 0 ohci1394 35161 0 ieee1394 301945 2 raw1394,ohci1394 dm_mod 58181 4 joydev 13057 0 uhci_hcd 33753 0 ehci_hcd 33737 0 video 19653 0 button 10577 0 battery 13253 0 ac 8773 0 ext3 121929 3 jbd 57561 1 ext3 ahci 14277 6 libata 44357 1 ahci sd_mod 19905 7 scsi_mod 116289 4 sg,ahci,libata,sd_mod
