Hello I've been interested for some time in power management and ACPI. Well, I've come to the conclusion that the first step to achieve power management and (most important) a silent computer is good temperature readings. So I had a look and I found that the reading was completely meaningless. The CPU temperature showed 20 degrees Celsius 1 min. after power-on, when the room temperature was 25. I got the datasheet of the it8705 (not a real specification, but is all I have) and found 3 registers called "thermal diode zero degree adjustment". I also found that the driver (version 2.6.24.2) does not use them. I've been playing around with theese registers but I don't know which is the correct value to store there. I suppose it depends on the diode used. The motherboard is a Biostar P4VTB. I wonder iwhether the chip could be connected to tne internal diode of the Pentium 4 or is it an external one on the motherboard. Really, the manufacturers don't give much information. I wouldn't need it if they did things the right way. i don't mean to achieve a lab accurate reading, but currently it is useless. If you could help me in some extent I would really appreciate it. __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo! Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ?gratis!
