Hi, I get readings which are some 20 degrees Centigrade off the BIOS readings. Below a sensors-detect (I went along with the defaults) followed by a sensors command. I have a P45TurboTwins2000 mobo from ASRock. Please let me know if there is any other information you require... toad@deskarch 983\5 ~ > sudo sensors-detect Password: # sensors-detect revision 5729 (2009-06-02 15:51:29 +0200) # System: To Be Filled By O.E.M. To Be Filled By O.E.M. This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. 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... No AMD K8 thermal sensors... No AMD K10 thermal sensors... No Intel Core family thermal sensor... Success! (driver `coretemp') Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No 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. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... Yes Found `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0x290, driver `w83627ehf') Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... No Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things. We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI interfaces? (YES/no): Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... 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? (YES/no): Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel ICH10 WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf.pacsave, it will be ignored in a future release. Module i2c-dev loaded successfully. Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400 (i2c-0) Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively): Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-1) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Client found at address 0x4a Probing for `National Semiconductor LM75'... No Probing for `Dallas Semiconductor DS75'... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM77'...

Yes (confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip) Client found at address 0x51 Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... No Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-2) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-3) Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `w83627ehf': * ISA bus, address 0x290 Chip `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Driver `coretemp': * Chip `Intel Core family thermal sensor' (confidence: 9) Do you want to overwrite /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors? (YES/no): Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. You should now start the lm_sensors service to load the required kernel modules. Unloading i2c-dev...
