You can always test the temperature of the heatsink with your bare finger, or using an external thermometer. You may also be able to check the temperature reported in the BIOS, as almost all BIOS display hardware monitoring data these days. > And second, does the ls_sensor chip have support for the Intel S3420GP > motherboard? > > I'm not sure if these are sensible questions, but please do ask me to > clarify where needed. lm-sensors is a software package, not a chip. And no, we have no idea if your hardware is supported. Your best chance is certainly to run our sensors-detect script and see what it finds. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
