Unfortunately, this could be an indication that PWM is not wired on this board. the two Gigabyte boards using the it87 driver I have access to and that have their PWM lines wired do have the option in BIOS. > It is like the same motherboard with Windoze is silent, though I'm not > sure. Please make sure ;) If the motherboard is actually silent under Windows, please try to find out what the difference can be. Maybe you are using a specific tool under Windows? If your CPU supports some form of power saving or throttling, maybe it is enabled under Windows but not under Linux (which could result in a faster fan speed if your fan is themoregulated). > Where to find the datasheet?

I can't tell, all motherboards are different. For the temperatures, you would most likely simply do: ignore temp2 label temp3 "CPU Temp" -- Jean Delvare
