Hi Patrick, Jae, Virgil,

I am done adding support for the IT8721F/IT8758E to the it87 Linux
driver. You can download a stand-alone version of the driver at:
  http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/it87/

Please test and report :) Beware the code is untested so far, as I
don't have this chip at hand.

Patrick, note that with an Asus board, it is entirely possible that the
it87 driver can't be loaded due to ACPI requesting the I/O ports
(you'll get a warning in the kernel log in that case) and you have to
use the asus_atk0110 driver instead.

Hi Jean,

you're right:

it87: Found IT8721F chip at 0x290, revision 1
ACPI: resource it87 [io  0x0295-0x0296] conflicts with ACPI region SIOE [??? 0x00000290-0x000002af flags 0x45]
ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver

but the asus_atk0110 did the trick:

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:       +25.2°C  (high = +70.0°C, crit = +99.5°C)

atk0110-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
Vcore Voltage:     +1.33 V  (min =  +0.85 V, max =  +1.60 V)
 +3.3 Voltage:     +3.33 V  (min =  +2.97 V, max =  +3.63 V)
 +5 Voltage:       +4.89 V  (min =  +4.50 V, max =  +5.50 V)
 +12 Voltage:     +12.08 V  (min = +10.20 V, max = +13.80 V)
CPU FAN Speed:    2280 RPM  (min =  600 RPM)
CHASSIS FAN Speed: 511 RPM  (min =  600 RPM)
CPU Temperature:   +34.0°C  (high = +60.0°C, crit = +95.0°C)
MB Temperature:    +37.0°C  (high = +45.0°C, crit = +75.0°C)

Btw, can you detect the mainboard vendor? If you can it would probably be a solution to recommend using this module for asus-owners in general. As it seems lm-sensors is capable of much more than the scan makes you think in the first place when it announces it has no driver for the sensor found :)

Thanks for your efforts, greatly appreciate the fast reaction :)

Br,
