Here you make the wrong assumption of a 1:1 mapping between fan input numbers and PWM output numbers. This doesn't have to be the case. A chip can have more fan inputs than outputs or vice-versa. One PWM output can control more than one fan, and we've even seen systems where the same fan could be controlled by two PWM outputs. > fancontrol works fine to control > the pwm2 fan.

At the maximum value (128), if readings are still 0, that means that the corresponding fan input isn't used on your system. Note that for best results, you have to set a proper minimum for your fan input, otherwise the driver's algorithm to pick the best divisor value doesn't work well. So you should add: set fan2_min 4000 or similar to the relevant section of your configuration file, and apply with "sensors -s". > > Have I skipped a major step somewhere.

Ah, Ubuntu. I bet that you need driver i2c-i801 and they blacklisted it. Remove the blacklist, let the i2c-i801 driver load and it should work. Odds are that the other fans are connected to the ADT7473 or ADT7475 monitoring chip on your system. And please complain to Ubuntu folks about this nonsensical blacklist, it has been hurting a lot of people already. > coretemp > w83627ehf > > > Sensors output > > coretemp-isa-0000 > Adapter: ISA adapter > Core 0: +38.0°C (high = +78.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) > > coretemp-isa-0001 > Adapter: ISA adapter > Core 1: +38.0°C (high = +78.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) > > coretemp-isa-0002 > Adapter: ISA adapter > Core 2: +41.0°C (high = +78.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) > > coretemp-isa-0003 > Adapter: ISA adapter > Core 3: +38.0°C (high = +78.0°C, crit = +98.0°C) > > w83667hg-isa-0290 > Adapter: ISA adapter > Vcore: +0.92 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +1.74 V) > in1: +1.70 V (min = +0.82 V, max = +0.39 V) ALARM > AVCC: +3.33 V (min = +2.98 V, max = +3.63 V) > +3.3V: +3.30 V (min = +2.98 V, max = +3.63 V) > in4: +1.66 V (min = +1.60 V, max = +1.66 V) > in5: +2.04 V (min = +0.18 V, max = +1.59 V) ALARM > 3VSB: +3.39 V (min = +2.98 V, max = +3.63 V) > Vbat: +3.31 V (min = +2.70 V, max = +3.30 V) ALARM > fan1: 0 RPM (min = 7028 RPM, div = 128) ALARM > fan2: 8880 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 16) ALARM > fan3: 0 RPM (min = 42184 RPM, div = 128) ALARM > fan4: 0 RPM (min = 10544 RPM, div = 128) ALARM > fan5: 0 RPM (min = 21092 RPM, div = 128) ALARM > temp1: +32.0°C (high = +5.0°C, hyst = +9.0°C) ALARM sensor = > thermistor > temp2: +31.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = diode > temp3: +7.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor > cpu0_vid: +0.000 V At first sight I'd say you can probably add "ignore" statements for in5, fan1, fan3, fan4, fan5, temp3 and cpu0_vid. in1 and in4 could be configured, look at what voltage values your BIOS reports (write down every value especially if they oscillate) and we can figure them out. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
