I doubt >> it would be monitorable. > > Hmm how many/what fans can you see in the BIOS? I figured out why I got zero readings for fan5. Since my case fans are lower speed, it seems the divisor was to low. I remedied this by settting fan1_min and fan5_min to 700. This also has the side effect of setting the divisor to 16. Now I get readings in the 1100 RPM range for both fan1 and fan5. Here is what I see in the BIOS Hardware Monitor after being on for about 5 minutes: CPU Temperature 35.5 C MB Temperature 21 C CPU Fan Speed 2556 CPU QFan Control Enabled CPU Fan Profile Optimal Chassis Fan1 Speed 1095 Chassis Fan2 Speed 1163 Chassis Fan3 Speed N/A Chassis QFan Control Enabled Chassis Fan Profile Optimal Power Fan Speed N/A VCore Voltage 1.176 3.3V Voltage 3.328 5V Voltage 4.992 12V Voltage 12.144 Here is my Idle sensors output jharvell at cujo ~ $ sensors w83627dhg-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter VCore: +1.12 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +1.74 V) 12 V: +12.14 V (min = +10.82 V, max = +13.20 V) 3.3V: +3.33 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.47 V) 5V: +5.04 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.25 V) VSB: +3.33 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.47 V) CHA_FAN1: 1125 RPM (min = 703 RPM, div = 16) CPU_FAN: 2518 RPM (min = 1704 RPM, div = 8) CHA_FAN2: 1222 RPM (min = 703 RPM, div = 16) Sys Temp: +28 C (high = +40 C, hyst = +35 C) CPU Temp: +34.5 C (high = +55.0 C, hyst = +45.0 C) Actually, I recently finished a compile, so it may still be cooling slightly. Also, I am using CPU Frequency scaling. So the CPU is at 1.60 GHz instead of the normal 2.39 GHz. I don't know what the operating CPU frequency is in the BIOS. jharvell at cujo ~ $ cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006 Report errors and bugs to linux at brodo.de, please. analyzing CPU 0: driver: centrino CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 hardware limits: 1.60 GHz - 2.39 GHz available frequency steps: 2.39 GHz, 1.60 GHz available cpufreq governors: ondemand, performance current policy: frequency should be within 1.60 GHz and 2.39 GHz.
