Hi Jan, > Honestly speaking I have no other reference (e.g. Windows) than this > installation to see what the chip is capable of reporting. Do you see any hardware monitoring information in the BIOS setup screen? If not, this is usually a good indication that there is no monitoring chip. > I'm assuming that, besides FAN-speeds, it also monitors and reports voltage > levels, etc... But I couldn't find any datasheet to support those thoughts. No, this particular SMSC chip can only do fan speed monitoring and control. > So probably that leaves me with a motherboard of which I cannot monitor > anything...

If a recent version of sensors-detect didn't find any other sensor device, indeed it looks like you can't monitor anything. You may try ACPI (kernel modules "fan" and "thermal") instead though. -- Jean Delvare
