I've read the wiki on fan > control and divisors, but I don't seem to have any config options. You do. fan2_div and fan3_div above are set to 2, meaning you can't monitor fan speeds below ~2700 RPM. Set them to 8 and see if you get readings. This is done by adding: set fan2_div 8 set fan3_div 8 to your configuration section and running "sensors -s". > Here is the config I have in etc/sensors.conf for my board.

One thing which strikes me in the output above is the lack of valid temperature values as well. This suggests that there might be an extra monitoring chip on the SMBus for fans and temperatures. This is something SuperMicro do frequently on their boards. I thus suggest that you try the version of sensors-detect that comes with lm-sensors 3.1.0, it might hint at an additional chip. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html
