Greetings, I've been trawling the net (and came across some interesting reads[1]) but most information is a bit dated. Well, so is the board. This is the hardware i have on this motherboard: * BIOS version 5005 (this was the last version ever released) * Phenom II X4 910e CPU * 8GiB DDR2 RAM (dual-channel 800MHz) * 4 SATA drives * ATI/AMD Radeon HD 5450 on a PCIe slot As far as fans go i have: * a Nox Urano 500 PSU, but it's not being monitored (i think) * the CPU cooler (Zalman CNPS7000C-AlCu) connected to CPU_FAN (4pin) * a 120mm fan (Noctua NF-S12A ULN) connected to CHA_FAN1 (3pin) * a 120mm fan (Noctua NF-S12A FLX) on PWR_FAN (3pin) * nothing connected on CHA_FAN2 (3pin) at the moment The BIOS has these settings: * Q-Fan controller: enabled (otherwise all fans run at full speed) * Vcore voltage:1.20V * 3.3V voltage: 3.26V * 5V voltage: 4.98V * 12V voltage: 11.85V * CPU temp: 39 * M/B temp: 43 * CPU fan speed: 1670 (warn at 400) * Chassis Fan1 speed: 560 * Power fan speed: 1196 There is no Chassis Fan12 in the BIOS, yet if i connect one, it'll work, seemlingly controlled by Q-Fan. I also have PnP OS: on (which seems to affect ACPI/APIC and how stuff is/n't detected at boot by the BIOS) The values in the BIOS monitor vary slightly.

It would be cool to disable Q-Fan and set the speeds manually to more default values and/or based of monitored temperature, but that's maybe risking too much. I'm using Debian stable (wheezy 7.5) with linux 3.2.0-4-amd64. I remember back in woody i had to boot the installer with noapic nolapic to get it to work. I'm not using such boot parameters now, are they still required with the latest BIOS/kernel? (At least lapic i'd like to avoid because it seems to break SMP). Is this the right configuration for this motherboard? Am i missing something or going the wrong way? Would fiddling with sensors3.conf suffice to tweak this output (assuming it's the correct configuration)? The M2N-SLI Deluxe [2] seems similar, but... Some guidance would greatly be appreciated. At least being able to monitor fans and temps with gkrellm or conky would be great; setting fan speeds a cherry on top.
