Try putting some load on the CPU and see if any of them jumps to a greater value. That would be Vcore (assuming you have cpufreq enabled.) > in2: +1.87 V (min = +2.78 V, max = +3.78 V) ALARM This could be Vdimm. > in3: +2.91 V (min = +2.67 V, max = +3.26 V) > in4: +1.22 V (min = +2.50 V, max = +3.49 V) ALARM > in5: +2.48 V (min = +0.58 V, max = +1.34 V) ALARM > in6: +1.81 V (min = +1.04 V, max = +1.36 V) ALARM > in7: +2.82 V (min = +2.67 V, max = +3.26 V) > in8: +2.99 V That one is Vbat, it's internal. For the other voltages, please check the kernel log when you load the it87 driver. Some voltage inputs can be routed internally, in which case the driver will tell you. > fan1: 3461 RPM (min = 10 RPM) This is CPU Fan. > fan2: 0 RPM (min = 10 RPM) ALARM > fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) Either of these is System Fan. Given the min of fan2 set to 10 RPM as for the CPU Fan, I'd guess fan2 is System Fan. > temp1: +15.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +75.0°C) sensor = thermal diode Seem a little low. Could be the CPU temperature, requiring some offset to be meaningful. The AMD K8 is reputed for its horrible thermal diode accuracy... > temp2: +34.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +75.0°C) sensor = transistor System Temp, certainly. > temp3: -8.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +75.0°C) sensor = transistor This one is obviously not used. > cpu0_vid: +1.000 V Not sure what do to with this... it should match Vcore at some point in time. > > (Ignore the  characters, that's a unicode side effect on a terminal > emulator that doesn't do unicode.) You know you can edit the text before you send the mail, right? ;) As I just did. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
