Dear lm-sensors team, I am experiencing fan reading/control problems with a Thinkstation D10 under Linux (Debian). A W83627EHG chip (visible on motherboard - part number 816G9C28083030UB) gets recognized, but I have the following problems: 1) RAM DIMMS get hot under heavy load, computer freezes 2) cannot read fan RPM with "sensors" 3) cannot set fan parameters (set fanX_div) with "sensors -s" 4) first loading of module w83627ehf yields message: "Forcibly enabling Super-I/O.. Sensor is probably unusable." The information on my system and output from my trials is included below. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors...

(driver `i5k_amb') VIA C7 thermal and voltage sensors... No Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.

No Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.

No Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/NO): Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble on some systems. Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now?
