Hello,
I just installed an EPOX ES300 miniMe barebone with a EP-4PGF mainboard
using Debian/testing, kernel 2.6.14. The chip label on the board reads
"Winbond W83627HF-AW", and sensors-detect finds it as such with a
confidence of 8 at the ISA bus.
"sensors" displays fan1 (the case fan) with constant rpm around 4700,
fan2 and fan3 at 0 rpm. I tried everything with the w83781d driver,
which also loads fine and displays two fan with non-zero rpm (the CPU
fan with around 2600rpm). I am only interested in the case fan though,
as it is really loud. The 4700rpm is consistent with what is shown in
the BIOS.
Using the "pwmconfig" program, I get this output:
Found the following PWM controls:
9191-0290/pwm1
9191-0290/pwm2
Found the following fan sensors:
9191-0290/fan1_input current speed: 4687 RPM
9191-0290/fan2_input current speed: 0 ... skipping!
9191-0290/fan3_input current speed: 0 ... skipping!
Testing pwm control 9191-0290/pwm1 ...
9191-0290/fan1_input ... speed was 4687 now 4720
no correlation
Testing pwm control 9191-0290/pwm2 ...
9191-0290/fan1_input ... speed was 4687 now 4753
no correlation
With no slowing down of the case fan.
Now my question, limited by my understanding of the sensors package:
What is most likely:
1. The w83627hf chip on the board can only provide readings but no
control of the fanspeed.
2. The w83627hf chip may provide control of the fanspeed, but there is
some hardware connector/cable missing.
3. Something else is wrong, eg. /etc/sensors.conf (attached), ...
Thanks,
Sebastian
