What is even more so? I meant that I share your skepticism with regards to temperature values being reported properly in the BIOS and improperly in Linux, because asus_atk0110 isn't a native driver but an ACPI driver. It doesn't read the values from the hardware directly, instead it asks the ACPI BIOS for them. So the very same BIOS code supposedly provides the BIOS values and the Linux values as far as monitoring is concerned. > > > (...) > > > I did run the `sensors-detect` command prior to shutting the > > > system down in order to check something. > > > > When did you do that exactly? sensors-detect is known to have caused > > serious trouble on a small number of systems, but given the history of > > your system this doesn't seem like the prime suspect for your specific > > problem. > > It was run just prior to swapping out the solid state cooling for the liquid > cooing when the replacement arrived. > > > What motherboard is this? > > Asus Crosshair II Formula Nobody else reported to us using that motherboard. > > Which version of lm-sensors or sensors-detect did you use? > > 1:3.1.2-6 OK. This is a bit old but as far as I can see all known SMBus detection issues were already fixed in this version. This makes me believe it is unlikely that sensors-detect caused the issues you're seeing. This could still be the case if Asus used some overclocking chip connected to the SMBus and behaving differently from every other chip we've seen before. In the event this is really what happened, here is the recommended procedure which did help some users in the past (no guarantee of course): * Power off the machine, switch the PSU off, unplug from the wall outlet. * Remove the backup battery, clear the CMOS. * Wait for 10 minutes. * Put the backup battery back, plug, switch on. * Load the BIOS defaults. But then again the most likely is that your CPU got partly damaged while the pump was dead. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
