The other two temperatures appear to be reasonable, but the CPU temperature appears to be low (although it does seem to scale appropriately in response to CPU burn-in, momentarily disconnecting the fan, etc.). >From the documentation: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All temperature channels are external, there is no embedded temperature sensor. Each channel can be used for connecting either a thermal diode or a thermistor. The driver reports the currently selected mode, but doesn't allow changing it. In theory, the BIOS should have configured everything properly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm wondering if the BIOS did not configure the sensor properly, although the sensors program reports that the sensor is configured as a diode (which, I believe, is correct). Is it possible that the diode is not characterized correctly? I have a technical contact at Jetway that may be able to assist. Should I pursue this as a BIOS issue, or ought I seek information with regard to how the circuit is physically wired? Any input you can provide is appreciated. I am actually using this information as a means of characterizing the vt1211 wiring on VIA EPIA boards with the same CPU. If I can get the information I need, I will be happy to pass it all along to the lm-sensors project. thanks, Forest -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
