I'd assumed that since I am able to see correct RPMs for all fans while in BIOS, I'd be able to parse out correct RPMs in Linux-OS as well. My impression is also that correct RPMs are also displayed using the Windows-OS application, "SpeedFan". Thanks again for your thoughts on this matter. gh On Mon, 2012-03-26 at 22:28 +0200, Jean Delvare wrote: > On Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:16:35 -0700, Guenter Roeck wrote: > > On Mon, 2012-03-26 at 15:44 -0400, Jean Delvare wrote: > > > The NCT6775 supports only 4 fans, so either there is some multiplexing > > > in place (which we don't support) or you have a second hardware > > > monitoring chip on your system. > > > > I had not thought about multiplexing - good point.
