Hi again, Sorry for a late reply - I apprecieate your help. I had other duties (and then I had a flu), to do so I didin't have time to look into this and reply before. But, I believe I've had no luck so far. Maybe the additional sensor is not handled trough the nct6791d after all?

Yes, I was confused about the bank in question since I haven't fiddled with this kind of things before =).

I did this. At first I need to load (after a reboot) the nct6775 driver - otherwise, all the registers would report all 0xff's when I tried to dump them with isadump. So something is initialized by the driver, is this normal? But after modprobe I removed the driver and tried the commands. I even did it again after a fresh reboot, in case the chip was in some odd state because I could have mad a mistake / after I had been running lm_sensors initialization script (I disabled the script / service to make sure nothing has been done to the registers). In 0x79 I usually had 0xfd, but I had seen anything from 0xfe to 0xff without any apparent pattern. 0x7a is always 00. I also dumped bank 8 to check 0x00 that it was written corretly - and it was. I also wrote the value for PCH and SYSTIN in the select register, since I know what PCH and SYSTIN should approximately show, and the right values seemed to appear in bank 0 / 0x79-0x7a. So, any other ideas? If you are running out of ideas, I was thinking about contacting ASUS support, maybe they'd like to share some information on this (where the additional sensor is actually handled and if they'd like to disclose any information). Hearing / reading about their reputation earlier on Linux support, I'd doubt that would help, but I guess it couldn't hurt either to ask. (I can provide the dumps from isadump if you wish, but I didn't notice anything peculiar in them) > I am wondering - when you do all your tests in the BIOS, do you > see the temperature (changes) reported there correctly ? Yes. I tried it (in real time while watching the figure) in room temperature (21-22°C), glass of (fresh / really cold and full of ice) water (0°C) and my graphics card heat sink (44°C, though I don't have a reference measurement for the heat sink).
