Now, the values reported by the BIOS are quite low... Do you know what is the expected speed for these three fans? If you have the opportunity to test one of them in another machine and compare what the two BIOSes say, I'd appreciate. Do the voltages match what the BIOS says if you use the default configuration file? > Output of /var/log/messages: > ============== > Aug 24 22:27:19 deepthought2 kernel: it87: Found IT8716F chip at 0x290, > revision 0 So this is an IT7616F and not IT8718F contrary to what your original subject line said...

How can the BIOS tell me soemthing about 6 FANS.. > I thought the ITE8716 has only 5 tachometer inputs.... Very good question, I don't really know. I even had a report of a board with 7 fans using this chip (Asus M2N32-SLI). Could either be a second chip on the board, or multiplexed fan lines (would be bad.) Can you please provide the complete output of sensors-detect for this system? Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
