It is not supported by the w83627hf driver. The suggestion you found in the post mentioned above was a simple first approximation trick. However, it turned out that the W83627EHF is too different from the chips supported by the w83627hf driver. We have started a dedicated driver for your chip, named (surpsise) w83627ehf. It was merged in Linux 2.6.13. It's still imcomplete for now (only temperatures and fans are monitored) but there is some development going on (thanks to Winbond themselves, among others) so the driver should be completed soon. -- Jean Delvare
