The chip apparently does not have any alarming capability. Do you mean the text is produced by the BIOS? Odd, indeed, if so, since the text inside the BIOS utility is quite different. > Given that (0.99 + 1.21) / 2 = 1.10, it seems clear to me that the > nominal value for SB is supposed to be 1.10 V. This is also in line > with the documented OC values of 1.10, 1.12, 1.14 and 1.16 V. The The documentation just takes a shortcut. There are a ton of available values in the setup utility, starting with 1.10V and going al the way to 3.0V in .02V increments. I did select a value of 1.24V in the BIOS, but the output of `sensors` does not reflect any change. That may be because overclocking is disabled, however. > documented values of 2.98 and 3.00 V OTOH are odd... You never > overclock a nominal voltage to more than +25%.

I don't see anything obvious in the man page, but I will look through the config files, or perhaps I can specify the language coding when I run mail. OTOH, in actuality, the use of the degree symbol is incorrect. The term 45.0°C implies a DIFFERENCE in temperature of 45°C between two bodies. The absolute temperature is referenced as 45C. Thus, there is a huge difference between 45C and 45K (273.15°), but 45°C and 45°K mean precisely the same thing. Anyway, thanks, again. _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
