After adding "set" statements to set proper sensor limits, and running "sensors -s", the alarms should vanish. It can take some time and tries before you get things right, due to the motherboard-specific nature of the settings and the fact that most motherboard vendors don't document the sensor wiring. The easiest way in my experience is to compare with either what the BIOS prints or what the monitoring software provided by the board vendor prints. > I am using 3.02 supplied by Ubuntu--listed as sensors are: > > lm78-i2c-1-2d, w83627dhg-isa-0290, coretemp & acpitz-virtual-0 > > The coretemp & acpitz-virtual-0 are working in range--most of the > readings for the lm78 & w83627dhg are throwing alarms even after I > spread the voltage/fanspeed ranges.

This most certainly is a misdetection. Could be that the W83627DHG chip is connected to both the LPC bus and the SMBus. Did sensors-detect tell you to load the lm78 driver? Which kernel are you running? Please unload the lm78 and w83627ehf drivers and provide the following dumps: isadump 0x295 0x296 i2cdump 1 0x2d b Maybe sensors-detect needs to be taught that the W83627DHG can also live on the SMBus. Then you can reload the w83627ehf driver, but you should NOT load the lm78 driver again. > > w83627dhg-isa-0290 > Adapter: ISA adapter > VCore: +1.26 V (min = +1.09 V, max = +1.62 V) > in1: +6.86 V (min = +6.12 V, max = +10.72 V) > AVCC: +3.31 V (min = +2.30 V, max = +3.47 V) > 3VCC: +3.31 V (min = +3.50 V, max = +4.08 V) ALARM > in4: +1.28 V (min = +2.04 V, max = +2.04 V) ALARM > in5: +1.55 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > in6: +5.86 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM > VSB: +3.31 V (min = +1.57 V, max = +0.02 V) ALARM > VBAT: +3.02 V (min = +0.10 V, max = +1.54 V) ALARM > Case Fan: 3000 RPM (min = 2657 RPM, div = 2) > CPU Fan: 2556 RPM (min = 998 RPM, div = 8) > Aux Fan: 1240 RPM (min = 2678 RPM, div = 8) ALARM > fan4: 1622 RPM (min = 912 RPM, div = 8) > fan5: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 128) ALARM > Sys Temp: +98.0?C (high = +100.0?C, hyst = +120.0?C) sensor = thermistor This one is a bit frightening.
