It's a FAQ. You need to increase fan2_div (typically from 2 to 4) in
/etc/sensors.conf (it87-* section) and run "sensors -s" again, possibly
twice. Then "sensors" should report the correct reading. If not, try
increasing even more (8...).

Aha, you're using my driver. Great :) I had no feedback for it yet.
Could you please provide a sample sensors output, so that I can see how
it does look? Also, I'd be great if you could verify that limit
checkings are OK (simply set the limits in a way you know the readings
will be outside of them, and see is sensors reports alarms correctly.)
Thanks! If you find anything that would need fixing/tweaking in my
driver, please let me know and I'll take a look.
