Please search for "IT8720F" on this page: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices It answers your first question. If installing a bleeding-edge kernel isn't an option for you, you can load the it87 driver with parameter force_id=0x8718. It will make the it87 driver treat your IT8720F chip as if it were an IT8718F, which is supported for a long time now. The IT8718F and IT8720F are essentially compatible as far as the hardware monitoring block is concerned. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html
