The only way to ensure if voltage values are somewhat correct is to try and configure for the specific board. Some values should directly match what the BIOS reports, in particular the DIMM, AGP, I/O and Vtt voltages as they are all below 2V. If these are correct then it means we got the ADC range correct, and it's only a matter of finding the right labels and scaling factors. I have started writing a guide for this: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/VoltageLabelsAndScaling Please follow it and report your findings here. Then I will continue writing the guide, using your board as an example. > > I'm building a quiet htpc and whould like to be able to controll and monitor > > the fan speed. > > Is there anything I can do to help to get this chipset supported?

Unfortunately I think not. All you can do is publicly express your sadness and buy hardware from a different vendor next time. That being said, there is no guarantee that you will be better served by a different vendor. While we have good contacts at Fintek and Nuvoton for example, and manage to get datasheets for their newer chips easily, ITE is totally unfriendly to us these days (which is sad as our relations used to be very good a few years ago.) So any board with an ITE chip will make hardware monitoring difficult or impossible, regardless of the board vendor. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
