lm-sensors configuration file for BioStar N68S+ motherboard

[Lee Marriott <leemarriott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To whom it may be of interest,

Attached is a lm-sensors configuration file for a BioStar N68S+ motherboard. It is the result of several days of head scratching and googling, and its results agree with the BIOS output (at least on my system using openSUSE 11.4). You are welcome to use as you see fit, but of course, there is no guarantee that it will work properly for others.

I hope that it will be of some aid to others.

# libsensors configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This is a first attempt at a custom configuration file for the Biostar N68S+.
# This custom configuration file should be located in /etc/sensors3.conf.
#
# Custom configuration files for some specific mainboards can be found at
# http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Configurations

# READ THE MAN PAGE DOCUMENTATION OF 'sensors.conf' FOR MORE
# COMPLETE INFORMATION. ie:

# man sensors.conf

# Regarding the Biostar N68S+ motherboard: This motherboard supports
# both manual overclocking by individual settings and preconfigured
# overclocking using predefined sets of overclock settings.

# The Biostart N68S+ is based upon the nVidia GeForce 7025/nForce 630a
# chipset and comes with active (fan based) cooling.

# Biostar N68S+ can allow 0 rpm for the CPU fan when in SMART
# fan control mode. Set min speeds as applicable for your system.

# Temperature sensor settings

    label temp1 "CPU Tmp"
    label temp2 "M/B Tmp"
    label temp3 "NB     "

# BioStar N68S+ BIOS doesn't use 'temp2' and 'temp3'.

    ignore temp2
    ignore temp3

# Only set tempX_type if you have PC Health [disabled]
# in your BIOS???? Generally, the kernel {lmsensors} will
# correctly detect individual temperature sensor type and
# set values accordingly.
# 2 = thermistor; 3 = thermal diode; 0 = unused

#    set temp1_type 2
#    set temp2_type 2
#    set temp3_type 3

# Set your temparature max values. Warning: If your values here
# are set higher than the values set in your BIOS, then you may
# shutdown at a lower temperature than you think. It's probably
# best to assume that shutdown will occur at the lowest setting
# whenever the value here and the BIOS are different.

   set temp1_max  50
   set temp1_min  10
#   set temp2_max  50
#   set temp2_min  10

# The other possibility is that a value set here will always
# override the BIOS. You may or may not want that behavior.
