ACPI (i.e. the your BIOS). Furthermore IIRC your board has an EC (external controller - basically another chip running its own firmware) which polls the hwmon chip on its own. > Forgive my confusion, but is it possible, even in > theory, to write a user-space lm_sensors driver for this motherboard? You can't do that in userspace, but yorur chip should be supported by w83627ehf in recent kernels, you can try and backport it (it should be fairly self-contained, while asus_atk0110 requires modification in core ACPI code).
