Well, I have hardware and am definitely available to do any (preferably non destructive :-) tests on it. And I can contribute some of my own time. Unfortunately not much in the way of money.

Yes, I was quite impressed by sensors-detect seeing them too. Too bad I can't see their temperature as then I could try simply running the machine without the (rear) fan, but I'm too afraid to fry the DIMMs -- they seem to be quite hot.

Ah, I started reading the datasheet but didn't reach the most interesting part, thanks for the page link! I'm going to try it out and report back. Thanks, VZ
