Well there is always a chance... Do you know the motherboard manufacturer? maybe we can compare with some database of motherboards to see which thermal lines means what. Maybe you can try dmidecode utility which should tell you the manuf name. > w83782d-i2c-0-29 > Adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0580 > VCore 1: +1.50 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) > VCore 2: +1.25 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V) > +3.3V: +3.31 V (min = +2.82 V, max = +3.79 V) > +5V: +5.08 V (min = +4.52 V, max = +4.30 V) ALARM > +12V: +11.86 V (min = +0.06 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > -12V: -1.01 V (min = -9.65 V, max = -12.28 V) ALARM > -5V: +2.59 V (min = +0.33 V, max = -0.93 V) ALARM > V5SB: +5.08 V (min = +0.86 V, max = +3.44 V) ALARM > VBat: +1.04 V (min = +0.03 V, max = +0.02 V) ALARM > fan1: 0 RPM (min = 21093 RPM, div = 2) ALARM > fan2: 0 RPM (min = 16071 RPM, div = 2) ALARM > fan3: 0 RPM (min = 75000 RPM, div = 2) ALARM Try changing fan divisor to 4 or 8 if the fan really spins.

You may try to change the temp inputs to diode to see if there some more reasonable temps... Suggested steps: change the fan divisor (check fanX_div stuff in sensors conf) to see if the fans still reads 0 if so maybe someone should check the fan if it is stuck or not + PSU fan. then you might try to change the sensor type to diode... (set senors stuff) Best would be to know the motherboard manufacturer/type so we might know what sensors is what... Regards Rudolf
