I'm asking for reconsideration of the decision not to support the SCH5514 because it has no apparent monitoring capability. In fact, recent versions of Speedfan under Windows manage to use the chip to control all three fans in a Dell Optiplex 755. Hereafter I include the startup log output from speedfan and the various items suggested by your "How to ask for help" page. Note that sensors-detect sees the chip as SCH5514D-NS but the physical chip on the motherboard is SCH5514E-NS. I will monitor the list and am happy to provide whatever further information you require. ============================= ** Speedfan startup log output Win9x:NO 64Bit:NO GiveIO:YES SpeedFan:YES I/O properly initialized Linked ISA BUS at $0290 Linked Intel 82801IB ICH9 SMBUS at $ECE0 Scanning ISA BUS at $0290...

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): Module cpuid loaded successfully. Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors...

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?
