I wanted to document that. I'd rather document the fact that the w83627ehf driver shouldn't be loaded on this board. There's no point in slowing down the system boot and libsensors by loading a useless driver. I've updated your configuration file in the wiki accordingly. Even better would be if sensors-detect would _not_ recommend loading the w83627ehf driver on that board, of course. But for that, the board manufacturer (or actually BIOS author) should disable the logical device in question, which I presume SuperMicro didn't do. > I didn't check whether the w83627ehf driver exports the gpio pins or not. No, it doesn't, nor should it. The w83627ehf driver, despite its name, focuses on the hardware monitoring part of the supported chips. Other features, including GPIO, would belong to a separate driver. > > > The BIOS does not set the correct limits for VTT, but it is wired. > > > > Why don't you set the limits in the configuration file then? > > I don't know what are the safe VTT limits for the processors supported on > this board.

I have VTT monitored at 1.14 V on my Xeon E5520. On my Asus Z8NA-D5, the limits are set by the BIOS to min = 0.770 V and max = 1.538 V. I guess you could use the same limits on your board, this is very broad but still better than no limits at all, and at least should be suitable for all CPU models. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
