Yes, I have one of those ancient motherboads, but it has served me well. But now I would like to do something about the fan. So, first I ran the latest sensors-detect, which told me Driver `coretemp': * Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9) Driver `nct6775': * ISA bus, address 0x290 Chip `Nuvoton NCT5577D/NCT6776F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Warning: the required module nct6775 is not currently installed on your system. Check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver availability. But, according to http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2012-October/037413.html and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1682796 it seems to be using a nct6776, which is provided by http://roeck-us.net/linux/drivers/w83627ehf. Which one should I use? Based on /etc/sensors3.conf in http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2012-October/037451.html, I setup the relevant entry in my /etc/sensors3.conf to # chip "w83627ehf-*" "w83627dhg-*" chip "w83627ehf-*" "w83627dhg-*" "w83667hg-*" "nct6775-*" "nct6776-*" label in0 "Vcore" label in2 "AVCC" # label in3 "VCC" label in3 "+3.3V" label in7 "3VSB" label in8 "Vbat" # set in2_min 3.3 * 0.90 # set in2_max 3.3 * 1.10 # set in3_min 3.3 * 0.90 # set in3_max 3.3 * 1.10 # set in7_min 3.3 * 0.90 # set in7_max 3.3 * 1.10 # set in8_min 3.0 * 0.90 # set in8_max 3.0 * 1.10 set in0_min 0.5 * 1.00 set in0_max 2.0 * 1.00 set in1_min 1.6 * 1.00 set in1_max 1.95 * 1.00 set in2_min 2.0 * 1.00 set in2_max 3.5 * 1.00 set in3_min 2.0 * 1.00 set in3_max 3.5 * 1.00 set in4_min 0.8 * 1.00 set in4_max 1.2 * 1.00 set in5_min 1.5 * 1.00 set in5_max 1.95 * 1.00 set in7_min 2.0 * 1.00 set in7_max 3.5 * 1.00 set in8_min 2.0 * 1.00 set in8_max 3.5 * 1.00 Using the w83627ehf module (I actually got similar results using both), sensors tells me that: coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Physical id 0: +36.0°C (high = +85.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 0: +30.0°C (high = +85.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 1: +34.0°C (high = +85.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 2: +35.0°C (high = +85.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 3: +31.0°C (high = +85.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) nct6776-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter Vcore: +1.03 V (min = +0.50 V, max = +2.00 V) in1: +1.88 V (min = +1.60 V, max = +1.95 V) AVCC: +3.38 V (min = +2.00 V, max = +3.50 V) +3.3V: +3.38 V (min = +2.00 V, max = +3.50 V) in4: +1.07 V (min = +0.80 V, max = +1.20 V) in5: +1.69 V (min = +1.50 V, max = +1.95 V) 3VSB: +3.44 V (min = +2.00 V, max = +3.50 V) Vbat: +3.26 V (min = +2.00 V, max = +3.50 V) fan1: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan2: 1773 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan4: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan5: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) SYSTIN: +39.0°C (high = +0.0°C, hyst = +0.0°C) ALARM sensor = thermistor CPUTIN: +34.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor AUXTIN: +36.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor PECI Agent 0: +36.0°C cpu0_vid: +2.050 V For now I just want to look at fan2, the only fan I have connected to the cpu fan1, which supposedly can do pwm (4 pin). Now I thought the next step was to use pwmconfig (revision 5630 (2009-01-29) in my case) to see if I can change the fan speed. according to it, Found the following devices: hwmon0/device is nct6776 (hwmon0/device/pwm{1,3}) hwmon1/device is coretemp (hwmon1/device/pwm2) When I let it do the test, I get that Giving the fans some time to reach full speed... Found the following fan sensors: hwmon0/device/fan1_input current speed: 0 ... skipping! hwmon0/device/fan2_input current speed: 1764 RPM hwmon0/device/fan3_input current speed: 0 ... skipping! hwmon0/device/fan4_input current speed: 0 ... skipping! hwmon0/device/fan5_input current speed: 0 ... skipping! Warning!!! This program will stop your fans, one at a time, for approximately 5 seconds each!!! This may cause your processor temperature to rise!!! If you do not want to do this hit control-C now!!! Hit return to continue: Testing pwm control hwmon0/device/pwm3 ... hwmon0/device/fan2_input ... speed was 1764 now 1762 no correlation No correlations were detected. There is either no fan connected to the output of hwmon0/device/pwm3, or the connected fan has no rpm-signal connected to one of the tested fan sensors. (Note: not all motherboards have the pwm outputs connected to the fan connectors, check out the hardware database on http://www.almico.com/forumindex.php) Did you see/hear a fan stopping during the above test (n)? What could I be missing here? _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
