I gave a quick look at the motherboard, you are right (and I was wrong, sorry).While the w83791d is clearly visible on the Maximus/Rampage Formula (http://www.overclock3d.net/gfx/articles/2007/10/31181936232l.jpg) this is not the case for the MIIF. Unfortunately it's not that easy to remove the heatsink and it makes the warranty void, but I have found some images of the "naked" board. I modified them to show you the well know chips, but I need your help to identify those unknown chips that might be hwmon IC. This is the picture: http://i37.tinypic.com/29ofhmo.jpg http://i33.tinypic.com/2m4rfqe.jpg http://i35.tinypic.com/33e1vyr.jpg I suspect them to be the iROG marked chips as I think this board is the first Asus mounting such ICs and being capable of showing temperatures/voltages/fan speeds on an external LCD, included with the board. Again, unfortunately no other information is printed. > Are they actually all > monitored, maybe some of them will drive a fan but do not monitor it? > How many fans does windows allow you to monitor?. Both the BIOS and the Asus utility show the speed readings for every header but at this time I'm using only 3 fan headers (+ the CPU header). I'll give a try as soon as possible. However, as far as I know, no Asus utility can control this fans and other software only recognizes the winbond chip, but some regulations are still possibile in the BIOS. Is there a way to find out through a bus scan what chips are they? What can we do now? Should we try to contact Asus? Thank you Marco
