If you set the gain to 20 the only difference is that if you try and read a voltage over 0.125 then it will be out of range. I understand there are hwmon devices that are dependent on external amplifiers & dividers, but that is not the case here. thanks, Paul _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
