What you can try to do with w83627hf is to change the sensor type. 1) edit /etc/sensors.conf 2) find the w83627hf-* senction # set up sensor types (thermistor is default) # 1 = PII/Celeron Diode; 2 = 3904 transistor; # 3435 = thermistor with Beta = 3435 # If temperature changes very little, try 1 or 2. # set sensor1 1 # set sensor2 2 # set sensor3 3435 Try to: set sensor1 1 3) save it and run sensors -s 4) run sensors again If it does not help try different numbers like 2, 3435 You can try to change other inputs too. If this fail please try following: 1) run sensors-detect version at least 2.9.2 2) it should find w83792d, if not post here output of: i2cdump 0 2) modprobe w83792d ; sensors CHeck if you have correct temp, if so OK, if not write us the output of sensors command, and add i2cdump 0 0xcorrectvallue I hope this helps.
