Did you try leaving the monitoring panel and entering it again? Maybe the BIOS doesn't update the values dynamically. It would be very useful to have another BIOS value for +12V. You might change the value by temporarily adding a fan and/or a disk drive to the system. Anyway, I still believe that in4 is +12V, and Speedfan seems to agree. I disagree with their scaling though, they apparently used a scaling factor of 4.00, but this makes their reading diverge a lot from the BIOS': 12.16 V instead of 11.985 V. The scaling factor is more likely in the 3.94-3.97 range. I have an old nForce2 board here where they used 3.963 (according to my guesses back then), maybe that's the same on yours. > > * Temperatures: I really don't know who is who, nor whether the sensor > > types are set properly.

Would be interesting to see if it's affected by the case being opened or closed. It might really be unused though - after all the BIOS only displays 2 temperature values. temp2 would be the CPU temperature. temp3 could be the north bridge, after all it has a dedicated fan so it's probably worth monitoring. > The K10 temperature rises/falls more slowly than temp2 or temp3.

Did not test SYS_FAN speed in the BIOS. I wouldn't conclude too fast, as the IT8718F datasheet doesn't say anything about 4-pin fan support. But the board manual claims that pin 4 of SYS FAN is "reserved", so maybe they do traditional 3-pin-style control on that header. (OTOH they claim that pin 3 of the NB FAN is not connected, which is certainly wrong, otherwise you wouldn't get a speed reading for that fan. So the manual may not be trustworthy.) Testing in the BIOS and with "Smart Fan" disabled would certainly be a good idea. Fan speeds normally need no scaling, unless they have a pole count different from 4 (but then this is a per-fan setting.) There seems to be many hardware revisions of your board. For the records, can you tell us which one you have? Here's my current config, which I will also upload. Basically I'm happy with everything except +12V (which we should be able to figure out at least approximately), temp1 and in7 (but it doesn't matter that much.) # lm_sensors 3 configuration file for the Gigabyte MA785GMT-UD2H motherboard # 2010-06-04, Jean Delvare <khali@xxxxxxxxxxxx> # Thanks to David Mathog for testing and reporting. # Comments welcome! chip "it8718-*" ### Voltages label in0 "Vcore" label in1 "Vram" # "DDR3" in BIOS label in2 "+3.3V" label in3 "+5V" # Not in BIOS label in4 "+12V" label in5 "3VSB" # Not in BIOS, guessed ignore in6 # label in7 "???" # No idea about that one, maybe -12V? label in8 "Vbat" # Not in BIOS # Vcore, Vram, +3.3V and Vbat are connected directly, so no compute # line is needed for these.
