I have run lm_sensor on my Slackware 12.0.0 (generic kernel 2.6.22.6 #2 SMP form install DVD). "sensors-detect" found 3 modules. I have loaded them again, just for sure: # modprobe i2c-piix4 # modprobe w83781d # modprobe eeprom This is an output of "sensors": # sensors w83782d-i2c-0-2d Adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 5000 VCore 1: +2.03 V (min = +1.79 V, max = +2.19 V) VCore 2: +1.49 V (min = +1.79 V, max = +2.19 V) ALARM +3.3V: +3.28 V (min = +2.82 V, max = +3.79 V) +5V: +5.16 V (min = +6.85 V, max = +6.40 V) ALARM +12V: +12.52 V (min = +13.56 V, max = +15.50 V) ALARM -12V: -12.20 V (min = -8.41 V, max = +5.73 V) ALARM -5V: -5.30 V (min = -2.94 V, max = +2.69 V) ALARM V5SB: +5.03 V (min = +5.78 V, max = +6.85 V) ALARM VBat: +2.98 V (min = +4.05 V, max = +3.06 V) ALARM fan1: 0 RPM (min = 2700 RPM, div = 2) ALARM fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2) temp1: +47?C (high = -9?C, hyst = +125?C) sensor = thermistor temp2: +120.5?C (high = +70?C, hyst = +65?C) sensor = thermistor ALARM temp3: -48.0?C (high = +70?C, hyst = +65?C) sensor = thermistor vid: +2.000 V (VRM Version 8.2) alarms: Chassis intrusion detection ALARM beep_enable: Sound alarm enabled w83782d-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter VCore 1: +2.03 V (min = +1.79 V, max = +2.19 V) VCore 2: +1.49 V (min = +1.79 V, max = +2.19 V) ALARM +3.3V: +3.28 V (min = +2.82 V, max = +3.79 V) +5V: +5.16 V (min = +6.85 V, max = +6.40 V) ALARM +12V: +12.52 V (min = +13.56 V, max = +15.50 V) ALARM -12V: -12.11 V (min = -8.41 V, max = +5.73 V) ALARM -5V: -5.30 V (min = -2.94 V, max = +2.69 V) ALARM V5SB: +5.03 V (min = +5.78 V, max = +6.85 V) ALARM VBat: +2.99 V (min = +4.05 V, max = +3.06 V) ALARM fan1: 0 RPM (min = 2700 RPM, div = 2) ALARM fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2) temp1: +47?C (high = -9?C, hyst = +125?C) sensor = thermistor temp2: +121.0?C (high = +70?C, hyst = +65?C) sensor = thermistor ALARM temp3: -48.0?C (high = +70?C, hyst = +65?C) sensor = thermistor vid: +2.000 V (VRM Version 8.2) alarms: Chassis intrusion detection ALARM beep_enable: Sound alarm enabled I cant belive that "temp2" = 121 ?C. Except that I dont know what temp2 really is, I guess it is CPU (?). This same about temp3 -48. That machine does not stand in a fridge. Any help what is wrong ?
