Hi Jean Here's the output of the version of sensors-detect you linked to: # sensors-detect revision 6215 (2014-01-26 22:52:57 +0100) # Board: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. M5A97 EVO R2.0 This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. 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 VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No AMD K8 thermal sensors... No AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... No AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors... No AMD Family 15h thermal sensors... Success! (driver `k10temp') AMD Family 15h power sensors... Success! (driver `fam15h_power') AMD Family 16h power sensors... No Intel digital thermal sensor... No Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No VIA C7 thermal sensor... No VIA Nano thermal sensor... No Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe. Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... Yes Found `ITE IT8721F/IT8758E Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0x290, driver `it87') Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No Trying family `SMSC'... No Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No Trying family `ITE'... 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? (YES/no): Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/NO): yes Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble on some systems. Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): Using driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:14.0: ATI Technologies Inc SB600/SB700/SB800 SMBus Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.

No Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Yes (confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip) Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `it87': * ISA bus, address 0x290 Chip `ITE IT8721F/IT8758E Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Driver `fam15h_power' (autoloaded): * Chip `AMD Family 15h power sensors' (confidence: 9) Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded): * Chip `AMD Family 15h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9) Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (yes/NO): yes Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. You should now start the lm_sensors service to load the required kernel modules. Unloading i2c-dev... OK Unloading cpuid... OK dmesg has the following to say about the monitoring chip (I think this is the information you want when you ask about "which monitoring chip was detected"): [ 16.382872] it87: Found IT8721F chip at 0x290, revision 3 and the output of 'sensors -u -c /dev/null' is the following: radeon-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: temp1_input: 57.000 it8721-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter in0: in0_input: 2.748 in0_min: 1.212 in0_max: 2.280 in0_alarm: 1.000 in1: in1_input: 2.772 in1_min: 2.616 in1_max: 1.260 in1_alarm: 1.000 in2: in2_input: 0.924 in2_min: 2.856 in2_max: 0.600 in2_alarm: 1.000 +3.3V: in3_input: 3.216 in3_min: 2.520 in3_max: 3.504 in3_alarm: 0.000 in4: in4_input: 0.684 in4_min: 2.280 in4_max: 1.608 in4_alarm: 1.000 in5: in5_input: 2.460 in5_min: 0.312 in5_max: 0.792 in5_alarm: 1.000 in6: in6_input: 0.192 in6_min: 0.000 in6_max: 1.332 in6_alarm: 0.000 3VSB: in7_input: 0.600 in7_min: 1.992 in7_max: 1.008 in7_alarm: 1.000 Vbat: in8_input: 3.288 fan1: fan1_input: 617.000 fan1_min: 10.000 fan1_alarm: 0.000 fan2: fan2_input: 900.000 fan2_min: 41.000 fan2_alarm: 0.000 fan3: fan3_input: 690.000 fan3_min: 13.000 fan3_alarm: 0.000 temp1: temp1_input: 37.000 temp1_max: 111.000 temp1_min: -72.000 temp1_alarm: 0.000 temp1_type: 4.000 temp1_offset: 0.000 temp2: temp2_input: 33.000 temp2_max: -25.000 temp2_min: 104.000 temp2_alarm: 1.000 temp2_type: 4.000 temp2_offset: 0.000 temp3: temp3_input: -128.000 temp3_max: 99.000 temp3_min: -123.000 temp3_alarm: 0.000 temp3_type: 0.000 temp3_offset: 0.000 intrusion0: intrusion0_alarm: 0.000 k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: temp1_input: 16.500 temp1_max: 70.000 temp1_crit: 90.000 temp1_crit_hyst: 87.000 fam15h_power-pci-00c4 Adapter: PCI adapter power1: power1_input: 41.329 power1_crit: 125.016 Also, this is the output of 'uname -a': Linux rune-desktop 3.8.0-35-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 3 01:24:59 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Running Ubuntu 13.04 with its stock kernel) Let me know if you need anything else.
