You have the same problem as was reported to me by someone else, i.e.
fan speed readings are twice as much as what the BIOS says. Now, the
values reported by the BIOS are quite low... Do you know what is the
expected speed for these three fans? If you have the opportunity to
test one of them in another machine and compare what the two BIOSes
say, I'd appreciate.

Do the voltages match what the BIOS says if you use the default
configuration file?

So this is an IT7616F and not IT8718F contrary to what your original
subject line said... Fixed.

Very good question, I don't really know. I even had a report of a board
with 7 fans using this chip (Asus M2N32-SLI). Could either be a second
chip on the board, or multiplexed fan lines (would be bad.) Can you
please provide the complete output of sensors-detect for this system?

Thanks,

I gues the expected speed for the fans are:
CPU-Fan:
Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 : 
expected speed			:2000 RPM
according to sensors output 	:4179 RPM
Bios output 				:2096 RPM

CHA_FAN 1 is an  
Revoltec AirGuard 120mm, 23.94 dBA 
expected speed			:1200 RPM
according to sensors output 	:2494 RPM 
Bios output 				:1256 RPM

PWR_FAN:
Enermax Liberty EL500AWT 120mm Fan
expected speed			:??? RPM
according to sensors output 	:903 RPM / 
Bios output 				:1256 RPM

i would beleive the BIOS values....

Voltages:
			Bios			Sensors with default config
Vcore		1,31V		1,01V (maybe the BIOS value is so high after power up)
3,3V			3,41V		3,22V (i think it is the voltage called VDDR)
5V			5,13V		4,78V
12V			12,3V		11,46V
CPU-Temp	26?			24?
MB-Temp		28?			31?

I think, it doesn't look too bad. Should it be better ?

# sensors-detect revision 1.413 (2006/01/19 20:28:00)

This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to
load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and
lm_sensors installed before running this program.
Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-*
files, for most things.
If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can
safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may
seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.

It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all
questions, unless you know what you're doing.

 We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
 You do not need any special privileges for this.
 Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): yes
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Sorry, no PCI bus adapters found.

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them
scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

 To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
 If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
i2c-dev is already loaded.

 We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
 through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected;
 we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
 If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can
 specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
 includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.

Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no): yes

Hi Juergen

Please send me in private the dsdt table.

cat /proc/acpi/dsdt >/tmp/dsdt.bin

In private is neccessary because mailing list eats the binary attachment.

Copy-n-paste typo for this last value?

Yep everyone seems to agree - I've updated my patch:
http://jdelvare.pck.nerim.net/sensors/hwmon-it8716f-it8718f-v3-2.6.18.patch
Fan readings for fan1 and fan2 should be OK now - not sure about fan3.
Can you test and report?

Yes, your CPU can change its Vcore depending on frequency.

Then just change the label to "+3.3V" in sensors.conf.

Hmm, all your voltages are lower in sensors than in the BIOS. We just
had a similar report, however I also had reports where the voltages
match so I think the driver works. I just can't explain this difference
on some Asus boards.

For temperatures it is OK, BIOS is usually in a busy loop so slightly
hotter than Linux at idle.

Ah, hardware is too recent for lm_sensors 2.10.0's sensors-detect. Can
you please pick SVN's version and try again?

Voltages look good. in2, in5 and in6 are obviously not wired so you can
add the following lines to your configuration file:

   ignore in2
   ignore in5
   ignore in6

And you can set the proper label for in1:

   label in1 "+3.3V"

It also looks like temp3 isn't wired so you can add:

   ignore temp3

Lastly, the vid reading is really strange, the value isn't even
possible for your CPU model. I think you are using a slightly older
kernel which lacks this fix:

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h\x177d165d7c2ec424007d6241a93d0cb83d953c51

If you can apply this patch, it should fix your vid reading.

... it doesn't seem to work, else sensors-detect would scan it. Support
for this SMBus master was only added recently, so maybe you need to
apply this patch as well:

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h\7ae65899a4c5b05b6277f856018d1eeeb98907

Because these are behind the SMBus, and it doesn't work for you yet. If
you can get it to work using the patch above, run sensors-detect gain
and it should find your EEPROMs - and maybe the additional hardware
monitoring chip I suspect you have for the additional fans.

Ok now with the patches, two EEPROMS and some other devices were found...
What devices are at address  0x08, 0x0c, 0x22, 0x2e, 0x30, 0x31 and 0x50 ??
Is there an device for the other fan's ?

This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to
load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and
lm_sensors installed before running this program.
Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-*
files, for most things.
If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can
safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may
seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.

It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all
questions, unless you know what you're doing.

 We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
 You do not need any special privileges for this.

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Module `i2c-nforce2' already loaded.
If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them

 To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
 If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this.
i2c-dev is already loaded.

 We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway
 through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected;
 we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case.
 If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can
 specify that address to remain unprobed. That often
 includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

 Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
 Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 1c00'
    Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x50
    Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)
  * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 1c00'
    Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x51
    Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)

  EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly
  found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some
  laptops, for example.

Driver `k8temp' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * ISA bus, undetermined address (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
    Hint: Try forcing the chip address. Consult the documentation
          of particular chip for details and address value.
    Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)

Driver `it87' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
    Chip `ITE IT8716F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)


I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules.conf:

#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----

To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-nforce2
modprobe i2c-isa
# Chip drivers
modprobe eeprom
# Warning: the required module k8temp is not currently installed on your 
system.
# For status of 2.6 kernel ports see 
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/SupportedDevices
# If driver is built-in to the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the 
following line.
modprobe k8temp
modprobe it87
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----

WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above
will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should
try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly.
Monitoring programs won't work until it's done.

Yep, looks alright to me now :) You're lucky, out of 4 boards with the
IT8716F chip, this is the only one with valid VID readings...

The chip at 0x2e is most certainly a second hardware monitoring chip. I
just found out that the Asus M2N32-SLI has an Analog Devices ADT7475
for the additional fans, I would suspect that your board are the same
or a very similar chip.

I added detection of a bunch of new Analog Devices chips to
sensors-detect a few minutes ago, can you please fetch it, give it a
try and report?

This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to
load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and

Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-*
files, for most things.
If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can
safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may
seem a bit confusing, but they will still work.

It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all
questions, unless you know what you're doing.

 We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
 You do not need any special privileges for this.

 includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. ISA probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.
Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots!

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. Super I/O probes are
typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do
this. This is usually safe though.

 Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
 Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver `to-be-written' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 1c40'
    Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x2e
    Chip `Analog Devices ADT7475' (confidence: 5)

Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 1c00'
    Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x50
    Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)
  * Bus `SMBus nForce2 adapter at 1c00'
    Busdriver `i2c-nforce2', I2C address 0x51
    Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)

  EEPROMs are *NOT* sensors! They are data storage chips commonly
  found on memory modules (SPD), in monitors (EDID), or in some
  laptops, for example.

Driver `k8temp' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * ISA bus, undetermined address (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
    Hint: Try forcing the chip address. Consult the documentation
          of particular chip for details and address value.
    Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)

Driver `it87' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
    Chip `ITE IT8716F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)


I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules.

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules.conf:

#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----

To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-nforce2
modprobe i2c-isa
# Chip drivers
# no driver for Analog Devices ADT7475 yet
modprobe eeprom
# Warning: the required module k8temp is not currently installed on your 
system.
# For status of 2.6 kernel ports see 
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/SupportedDevices
# If driver is built-in to the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the 
following line.
modprobe k8temp
modprobe it87
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----

WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above
will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should
try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly.
Monitoring programs won't work until it's done.

Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (YES/no): n
