Hi, I have extremely high fan reading on my ubuntu 10.10 server installation (AMD64). Any clues to what could be the reason? Asus m2v motherboard Lm-sensors 3.1.2 kernel 2.6.35-22 Sensors output: atk0110-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface Vcore Voltage: +1.14 V (min = +0.85 V, max = +1.60 V) +3.3 Voltage: +3.31 V (min = +2.97 V, max = +3.63 V) +5 Voltage: +5.00 V (min = +4.50 V, max = +5.50 V) +12 Voltage: +11.31 V (min = +10.20 V, max = +13.80 V) CPU FAN Speed: 18000 RPM (min = 800 RPM) CHASSIS FAN Speed: 14835 RPM (min = 800 RPM) CHASSIS2 FAN Speed: 0 RPM (min = 800 RPM) CPU Temperature: +25.0°C (high = +60.0°C, crit = +95.0°C) MB Temperature: +35.0°C (high = +45.0°C, crit = +95.0°C) k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +28.0°C Core1 Temp: +28.0°C Sensors-detect output: # sensors-detect revision 5818 (2010-01-18 17:22:07 +0100) # System: System manufacturer System Product Name # Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. M2V This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors. Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): y Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No AMD K8 thermal sensors... Success! (driver `k8temp') AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... No AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No Intel Core family thermal sensor... No Intel Atom thermal sensor... No Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No VIA C7 thermal sensor... No VIA Nano thermal sensor... No Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): y Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... Yes Found `ITE IT8712F Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0xd00, driver `it87') Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... No Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things. We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI interfaces? (YES/no): y Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/NO): Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble on some systems. Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): Using driver `i2c-viapro' for device 0000:00:11.0: VIA Technologies VT8237A South Bridge Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.

No Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `it87': * ISA bus, address 0xd00 Chip `ITE IT8712F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Driver `k8temp' (autoloaded): * Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9) To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules: #----cut here---- # Chip drivers it87 #----cut here---- If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)y Successful! Monitoring programs won't work until the needed modules are loaded. You may want to run '/etc/init.d/module-init-tools start' to load them. Unloading i2c-dev...
