Thanks for your help on this issue from a few weeks ago. I have an update that may be of interest. I have attached the previous thread for your reference. This was for an ECS NFORCE3-A939 with an Athlon 64 3000+. I was not able to monitor my CPU temp using lm sensors because the chip for my cpu temperature is not supported. Since then I noticed in my boot log that there was a readout of the cpu temp from acpi. I found the cpu temperature is being logged to /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature. I had already setup tellerstats to create html output for the sensors I was able to monitor with lm sensors and I was easily able to modify that script to get the cpu temperature from this location and add it in. Still would be interested to hear if you add support for my chip in the future but this seems to accomplish the same thing. Everything else is working great.

Lou You're welcome :) Now the hard part would be to write, review and test a driver for that chip - but I just don't have the time to do that, unfortunately. > By the way, I heard back from ECS.

Good thing that we found the answer by ourselves meanwhile! -- Jean Delvare
